This is a sweet little book… not quite a novel, maybe more connected vignettes? Surrounding a father-daughter team who run a restaurant that specializes in recreating a meal the customer is trying to remember from their past. Very cozy.

Food and memory are uniquely entwined. This is a sweet story of a father-daughter owned restaurant / food detective agency.

Weekly Report

I almost DNF Confessions of a Mask, but the second half improved enough to press onwards. Meanwhile I started the different books as my subway book: Bluebeard's First Wife, Winter in the Blood, and The Bitter Glass. Still reading 2666.

February #wrapup

Favorite book of the month is tagged but Stories on Rye is a favorite too. Still struggling a bit with a slump, it‘s been hard for me to focus on anything other than a graphic novel or a very short book. Hope this feeling ends soon, my books are pulling up.

Trying to recreate that perfect nostalgic meal from your childhood? Contact the Kamogawa Detective Agency where a father & daughter pair will research & recreate that perfect dish.

This was an absolute pleasure to read. The relationship between Koishi & her father Nagare was such fun to read.

I loved that these stories show how entwined food & memory & family are all together for all these clients looking to recapture joy or comfort. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

This is a harrowing read. I kept wondering why doesn‘t anyone do anything for these kids? Are there no teachers around to help or has this bullying become so normalized that it‘s ignored? It‘s thought-provoking for sure, this book, it‘s uncomfortable and it‘s troubling.

slategreyskies I don‘t think I could handle reading this one. My son was heavily bullied at school, and he went into a deep spiral as a result of it. I hate that bullying happens. It can be so brutal. 2mo
KatieRose23 I feel as though this would definitely be a hard read. Personally it‘s hard to read about children in danger either physically or emotionally and neglectful situations always seems to be a heavier hitter! Was it worth the read?? 2mo

Yes, I finished it, but that was not a "throw confetti" kind of ending. ?
