Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

Bookseller Review by Elle:

The story presented in ‘Convenience Store Woman’ raises interesting questions about how society treats unmarried women. So very often in literature, the unmarried woman is either career driven or desperately seeking romance – Keiko’s story is refreshing as she does not fall into either of these categories. This book tells you – you do not need to want what every one else expects you to want – and Keiko’s story will have you feeling both uplifted and frustrated at different points of the story.
