A man labours in a dorayaki shop, making pastries for customers he doesn’t really care about. Then he meets an old, disabled woman who asks to work in his shop. I don’t want to give too much away, but mass illness features in this book in a way that reminds me of covid19 now. So I liked to read it, since it reminds me of these times we’re going through now. This is a very sweet, sad story.
