The Full Moon Coffee Shop: A Novel By Mai Mochizuki

Full Moon Coffee Shop is a captivating contemporary fantasy that invites readers to follow their stars and rediscover their true paths. Translated from the Japanese bestseller by the acclaimed author Mochizuki, this enchanting novel weaves a tale of magic and self-discovery under the glittering Kyoto moon.

In Japan, cats are revered as symbols of good luck, and the myth promises that kindness to these creatures may one day be rewarded in surprising ways. For a select few, this reward takes the form of an elusive and extraordinary coffee shop that appears only under the full moon. Known as the Full Moon Coffee Shop, it has no fixed location or hours and is run by a charming group of talking cats.

The coffee shop’s visitors are drawn by a sense of being lost—whether it's a struggling screenwriter, a movie director stuck in a romantic rut, a hopeful hairstylist, or a website designer overwhelmed by technology. As they savor cakes, coffees, and teas, they are also treated to the cats' cryptic wisdom and star charts that reveal where their lives have deviated from their true course.

Each visitor’s presence at the shop is no accident. The feline guides, with their mystical knowledge and gentle advice, help them find their way back to their fated paths. Full Moon Coffee Shop is a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to realign with one’s destiny and embrace the magic of life's second chances. 📚❤️
