Sometimes a fresh start begins with a familiar face
Volume two in the Marble Cafe series. By the multi-million-copy author of WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS IN THE LIBRARY for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD
_______________
Tucked behind the trees in a quiet neighbourhood in Tokyo, the beloved Marble cafe offers a cup of warm, healing matcha to all who pass through its doors.
Customers flock all week to Cafe Marble, tucked away behind the cherry trees. But Monday is a special day: the enigmatic owner hosts a tea tasting. The ritual invites its clientele to pause, reconnect with their inner peace, and rediscover the value of simplicity, allowing the bitterness of matcha to soothe their troubles.
Following the twelve calendar months, Matcha on Monday follows people from all walks of life: a woman who needs to change her attitude, a couple facing a crisis, an artist who has lost her purpose, and a young woman struggling to break free from family expectations. As each customer frequents Cafe Marble's cosy haven, they start their week with a warm sip of matcha and the joys of everyday human connection.
Warm and luminous, this heart-warming story brings together a community of untold unfolding lives. As a snow-white cat peacefully puzzles over the surrounding humans, Cafe Marble becomes the setting for unexpected encounters that will change everything for those who walk through its doors-all starting with a cup of matcha.
Loving praise from international readers for MATCHA ON MONDAY:

'A miraculous story that shows the importance of giving things perspective' *****
'It would be a great idea to read this together with HOT CHOCOLATE ON THURSDAY'*****
