Description
Sentaro works at a dorayaki 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 pancake fillings, eventually making his shop a destination for connoisseurs of this traditional Japanese dessert. However, Toki harbors an unspoken secret, disappearing as suddenly as she appeared, leaving Sentaro with a lifelong lesson.
“Tokyo Pleasures” is a moving and poetic novel about the pain of the body and heart, about love, compassion, and resilience, but 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!
