The Amberglow Candy Store - Hardcover
by Hiyoko Kurisu (Author), Matt Treyvaud (Translator)
In this charming, fable-like book from Japan, a fox spirit sells magical confections to troubled humans, only for them to get a little more than they bargained for...
Welcome. We don't get many humans here. In a cozy night-alley lies a very special store. It's only open between the full moon and the new moon, and it's full of wagashi, Japanese sweets. Each candy claims to cure some ailment of the heart or the head. But who is the mysterious proprietor, and why does he study his customers so closely? From the girl who craves more time with her boyfriend to the friends with some buried resentments, each customer learns a valuable lesson from these sugary treats. The candies can give you what you most desire, but not always in the way you expect... Back to the shop owner--did that shadow just make it look like he has a pair of ears? Surely, not a tail? If he is a half-fox spirit, so be it. But why is he so keen to study human emotions, and why does he say each candy has a "dosage"? Patience. Like the center of a gooey caramel, the best things take time to reveal themselves.Author Biography
