Return to Hometown Bookstore

After being laid off, she returned to a small town with a few books and opened a bookstore that no one visited. Starting with a cup of bitter buckwheat tea, she heard the forgotten stories of the elderly and, for the first time, truly "lived" somewhere. This is a gentle story about escape and return, listening and being seen—healing is never something a place can give you, but rather when you finally stop and let someone finish their story. — Description from novelcodex.org
