Exhilaratingly weird and funny... Unsettling and totally unpredictable - my copy is now heavily underlined Sally Rooney THE UNEXPECTED INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Meet Keiko. Shes 36 years old, has never had a boyfriend, and shes been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years. Keikos family wishes shed get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she wont get married. But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and shes not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store... A cult hit around the world, Convenience Store Woman is both a feminist rallying cry and a must-read oddball comedy. A gem of a book. Quirky, deadpan, poignant and quietly profound Ruth Ozeki Darkly comic Observer [A] short, deadpan gem... A true original Daily Mail What a weird and wonderful and deeply satisfying book this is.
