SUMMARY:Seasons of Stories Book Club Sept 20 Meeting #4
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 2025 BOOK SELECTION\n\nThe Miracles of the Namiya General Store\nby: Keigo Higashino\n\nFrom exactly midnight until daybreak\, the Namiya General Store advice box will be reopening for one night only. When three delinquents hole up in an abandoned general store after their most recent robbery\, to their great surprise\, a letter drops through the mail slot in the store’s shutter. \nThis seemingly simple request for advice sets the trio on a journey of discovery as\, over the course of a single night\, they step into the role of the kindhearted former shopkeeper who devoted his waning years to offering thoughtful counsel to his correspondents. \nThrough the lens of time\, they share insight with those seeking guidance\, and by morning\, none of their lives will ever be the same. \nBy acclaimed author Keigo Higashino\, The Miracles of the Namiya General Store is a work that has touched the hearts of readers around the world. \n  \n  \n  \nORDER THE BOOK HERE\n  \nSeasons of Stories is a new book club at Shinzen Garden that invites readers to gather in the natural setting of the garden to explore literature inspired by Japanese culture and explore books from Japanese American authors.  We will be diving into a thoughtfully selected book each month and enjoy meaningful conversations surrounded by the beauty of the garden.
