Much-loved early novel by the bestselling author of WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS IN THE LIBRARY for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD Readers love HOT CHOCOLATE ON THURSDAY:‘Slipped into my heart and warmed me, just like a cup of cocoa’ *****‘I definitely recommend this book!’ *****‘Thursday is the beginning of the second half of the week. I felt restored reading this’ *****‘Reminds you that everyone is living their own daily joy and pain. Heartwarming’ *****‘This made me realise how we magically influence each other’s lives without realising it’ *****___________Across a bridge, in view of cherry blossom lies the Marble Cafe where a woman writes in a notebook and a young waiter prepares her favourite hot drink. Both wonder about each other and about the other lives of the clientele who frequent this magical little cafe behind the trees .... Without even realizing it, we may touch and change someone else's life. Taking a walk along the river, cooking the best tamagoyaki, ordering hot chocolate, forgetting to remove our nail polish... The small, everyday acts that we do can offer unexpected encounters and ultimately change a life. HOT CHOCOLATE ON THURSDAY connects twelve slice-of-life moments that open and close with a woman ordering her regular hot chocolate at the mysterious Marble Cafe. What happens in between will touch and swell your heart, as we connect with a community of untold unfolding lives.
