The first time I saw you, it was on my weekly stroll. I was strolling, admiring the cherry trees on a shopping street, when a delicious scent led me to Doraharu’s shop. And then I saw you. I saw your face. Your eyes looked so sad, just like mine in the past. That’s why I stopped in front of the shop, as if I was irresistibly drawn to it.
Sentaro works at a durayaki shop in the heart of Tokyo. His life is turned upside down when he hires Toki, an old woman with deformed fingers who will teach him how to lovingly and expertly prepare his dumpling filling, eventually making his shop a destination for connoisseurs of this traditional Japanese sweet. But Toki was hiding six secrets that could not be revealed. She disappeared as suddenly as she appeared, leaving Sentaro with a lifelong lesson. Tokyo Met is a moving and poetic novel about the pain of bodies and hearts, about love, compassion, and resilience. Above all, it is the story of an unexpected encounter between two people who are more alike than they realize, despite their different ages and aspirations.
It is a wonderful novel, a feast to be devoured without moderation!

Prisoner of Heaven
د.ا7.10After the shadow of the wind and the angel game, I ended my strange meeting with Carlos Zafon in the third part of the Tomb of Forgotten Books series in this piece that I read while trying to understand what was going on in his head, which wanted the prisoner of heaven to tell us the dark nights of Barcelona from the window of its prisons, that prison that embraced Martin for a long time and through which he excelled in writing The Game of the Angel, which was the hero of that novel David Martin and Isabella, and we got to know their end, which was not confirmed by the lines. The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,
