About this listen
Meet Keiko. Keiko is 36 years old. She's never had a boyfriend, and she's been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years. Keiko's family wishes she'd get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won't get married. But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and she's not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store.

Witty, wily, and astonishingly sharp.
-- Lisa McInerney, author of "The Glorious Heresies"
An exhilaratingly weird and funny Japanese novel. Unsettling and totally unpredictable.
-- Sally Rooney
A haunting, dark, and often hilarious take on society's expectations of the single woman.
-- Elif Batuman, author of "The Idiot"
[A] short, deadpan gem... This is a true original.
-- Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail
A sure-fire hit of the summer... quirky [and] profound.
-- Irish Times
