El Café de la Luna Llena

Dive into this delightful piece of Japanese literature, a book full of music, astrology, delicious desserts, incredible illustrations, and a beautiful message about the power of emotions and the magic of destiny.

Legend has it that, under the glittering Kyoto moon, a magical cafe appears to those who need it...

In Japan, cats are a symbol of good luck, and they say that if you are kind to them, they will one day return the favor. But it turns out that if you are also kind to the right feline, it might invite you into a cafe that is not like the others, as it has no fixed location or schedule and only appears to people who are at a crucial moment in their lives.

While customers of The Full Moon Cafe enjoy their delicious sweets, coffees, and teas, a very charismatic cat reads their astral chart to help them see where they have taken a wrong turn and guide them back to the path that the stars have reserved for them.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Translated from the Japanese bestseller, a charming and magical novel that reminds us it's never too late to follow our stars.

"Mochizuki dazzles in her beautifully crafted contemporary fantasy debut. . . . This gentle fantasy is not to be missed."--Publishers Weekly, starred review (Best Books of the Year)

In Japan, cats are a symbol of good luck. As the myth goes, if you are kind to them, they'll one day return the favor. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might just find yourself invited to a mysterious coffee shop under a glittering Kyoto moon.

This particular coffee shop is like no other. It has no fixed location, no fixed hours, and it seemingly appears at random.

It's also run by talking cats.

While customers at the Full Moon Coffee Shop partake in cakes and coffees and teas, the cats also consult their star charts, offering cryptic wisdom, and letting them know where their lives veered off course.

Every person who visits the shop has been feeling more than a little lost. For a down-on-her-luck screenwriter, a romantically stuck movie director, a hopeful hairstylist, and a technologically challenged website designer, the coffee shop's feline guides will set them back on their fated paths. For there is a very special reason the shop appeared to each of them . . .
