Matcha on Monday

Matcha on Monday is the second book in the Marble Cafe series. It takes place at Café Marble, a cosy spot behind the cherry trees in a quiet Tokyo neighbourhood. Each Monday the owner leads a tea tasting. The story moves through twelve calendar months and meets very different customers: someone who must rethink her outlook, partners in trouble, an artist who has lost her sense of purpose, and a young woman held back by what her family expects. A snow-white cat looks on. Calm, simplicity and friendly contact between people run through the book.
