Rating 3.5Odd, fascinating, funny, sad....trying to sum this one is difficult. A short story that I listened to via audio, which took about 3 hours in total. I'm not sure how I heard about this one but ended up grabbing it for my Japanese reading quest I have this year.Keiko works in a Japanese convenience store. She's a bit odd. She's smart, but it sometimes appears she has issues functioning in society. But she thrives while working at the convenience store. She gets a job there and stays for

A quirky novel about a 36 year old woman who works in a convenience store and cannot conceive herself beyond her job. But this is also about a woman who doesnt know how to be human in the way others expect her too. At times funny, at times sad, always compelling.

This is a popular new book you have probably heard of. Its short, almost a novella, by a Japanese woman author. The blurbs call it darkly comic.Keiko is 36 and she has been working part-time in a convenience store in Tokyo for 18 years. Shes an excellent worker a dream employee who loves her job so much so that she even comes in on occasion, unpaid on her time off, to help out. She cant even help herself from straightening things out in other stores she doesnt even work in. Keiko has always

I have seen this described as the Japanese Eleanor Oliphant, because Keiko, the central character, doesn't know how to act in "normal" situations, and hasn't been able to, even as a child. As an adult she finds the perfect job, because it comes with a manual that spells out how to act and dress in every situation. A quick read with an interesting character.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It comes out 12 June, 2018.

The voice of the convenience store wont stop flowing through me. I was born to hear this voice. Offbeat, perky, 36-year-old-virgin Keiko Furukura, a checkout counter gal, has been working at Tokyo's Hiiromachi Station Smile Mart convenience store since she was eighteen. To her family, Keiko was rather a peculiar girl, undeniably an oddball ever since she was a small child. Because her family loves her so much, they wanted to "cure" her and introduce some kind of "normality" in her life. Well,

In Britain these things are called corner shops, even if they arent on a corner. My local convenience store is really not convenient at all. Its small and cram full of groceries and all kinds of crap in teetering towers so you can hardly edge your way inside. When you are in if theres anyone else there it becomes an uncomfortably intimate experience if you try to get past that person to the thing you want. Then there is the owner. He fixes you with a baleful death-glare from the moment the

Convenience store woman is a simple little story about Keiko Furukura a totally quirky hopelessly inept character but in a totally charming and sweet way. Shes a character that defies societies norms by bucking the traditional role designated for women that require them to have a proper or normal job, a husband and children by a certain age. I felt a deep sadness for Keiko always being subjected to judgement and how she was always making excuses for her life choices. I felt a real tug on my
