The four people associated with the business get close to each other in a matter of days. But how entangled are the emotional attachments?<\/p>\n<h3>Review<\/h3>\n<p>They say, \u201cNever judge a book by its cover\u201d. But to tell the truth what attracted me to Kawakami\u2019s work are the covers of her books. The cover is the work of Japanese photographer Natsumi Hayashi who specialises in taking slightly spooky pictures of Japanese girls levitating and floating. You can find more of Natsumi\u2019s work at <span style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yowayowacamera.com\/\"><em>Yowayowa Camera Woman Diary<\/em><\/a><\/span>. When I finished the read, I was fully able to appreciate the ethereal nature of the covers. The book was everything I expected from the cover.<br \/>\nHitomi Suganuma is a young woman who gets a job at a thrift store owned by Haruo Nakano. As she works at the store, she gets to know the other people associated with the business, and through her, so do we. I loved Hitomi as the narrator. She knows a bit more information than the reader. But she is also desperately searching for concrete answers, much like the reader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The main cast of the novel are the four people connected to the thrift store.\u00a0 The owner, Haruo Nakano, is a womanizer and somehow his women seem to love him as well; his elder sister, Masayo, an artist who likes to be on the lookout for her brother.\u00a0 Then there\u2019s the delivery driver, Takeo, a reserved man with secrets of his own, who later becomes more than just a colleague to Hitomi. Hitomi, the narrator, always remains in the background. We never get to know much about her and she mostly serves as the telescope through which we view the other characters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2238\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2238 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/the-nakano-thrift-shop1.jpg\" alt=\"The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami\" width=\"960\" height=\"641\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/the-nakano-thrift-shop1.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/the-nakano-thrift-shop1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/the-nakano-thrift-shop1.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each chapter takes its title from an object which is sold in the shop. The book reads like an account about the various customers and employees of the shop, with the plot drifting off tangentially in some chapters. In simpler words, there isn\u2019t much of a plot. We see fragments of life of the main characters and thread the story together, if at all there is a story. The tone of the book is calm, with occasional ripples that die out soon enough. And even by the end there is a sort of vagueness that remains in the minds of the reader about certain characters. Hitomi is a narrator with great clarity; the vagueness comes because she herself is searching for answers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2240\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2240 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nakano3.jpg\" alt=\"The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami\" width=\"960\" height=\"641\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nakano3.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nakano3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/nakano3.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have heard that this book reads a lot like Kawakami\u2019s first novel, <em>Strange Weather in Tokyo<\/em> (whose cover is also designed by Natsumi Hayashi). Her first novel was praised for its surreal and dream-like narration. And after reading <em>The Nakano Thrift shop<\/em>, I am sure I will enjoy that one as well. (Update : Here is a  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/japanlit\/\">review of <em>Strange Weather in Tokyo<\/em><\/a>.

The read is atmospheric and the reader is transported to the thrift shop and is pulled into the lives of the main characters. If you are a person who enjoys melancholic reads with a cup of tea, and don\u2019t mind feeling lonelier on reading the last page, this book is for you. Read it warning yourself that you might have to leave this comfortable space, where the \u00a0characters dwell, without all the answers, content that you spent a significant amount of time with them, enough to make them memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Rating : 4\/5<br \/>\n<em>Disclaimer : Much thanks to the publisher for a copy of the book.
