THIS BOOK IS A LOVE STORY TO BOOKS.

A love story to climbing all the way down a book''s rope, free diving to its bottom, and then resurfacing at its close, ready to breathe a different kind of air.

She describes herself as a sexy bookseller who will give you a personalised book recommendation. In the year that follows, Nanako m
