Michiko Aoyama was born in 1970 in Aichi Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. After university, she became a reporter for a Japanese newspaper based in Sydney before moving back to Japan to work as a magazine editor in Tokyo. What You are Looking for is in the Library was shortlisted for the Japan Booksellers' Award and became a Japanese bestseller. It is being translated into more than fifteen languages. She lives in Yokohama, Japan.
It was a collection of heartwarming stories involving a mysterious cat and its mysterious messages via leaves. I liked how the characters from each story briefly appeared in the background in other stories and the warm vibe this book had. But there was nothing new. I felt bored from time to time.
Une lecture si agréable. C'est du michiko aoyama tout craché. Je considère chaque chapitre comme étant une nouvelle. Chaque chapitre est dédié à un personnage qui a un point commun avec tous les autres personnages des autres chapitres. La littérature japonaise est positive, et permet de se remettre en question, je trouve ces livres agréables et permettent de se rappeler que positiver est une qualité et qu'il y a toujours quelque chose de bon à tirer du mauvais.
