Don't always get the book read? This book club is for you. Dive into short stories and novellas of all genres. Age 18 and up.
If you have the best of intentions about book clubs, but don't always get the book read, this is for you! If you want to try a new genre without committing to a full book, this is also for you. This month, we'll be reading The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai and Jesse Kirkwood.
Book summary:
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time? Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner serves up deliciously extravagant meals. But that's not the main reason customers stop by. The father-daughter duo are "food detectives." Through ingenious investigations, they're able to recreate dishes from a person’s treasured memories—dishes that may well hold the keys to their forgotten past and future happiness. The restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to vanished moments, creating a present full of possibility.
