A feel-good novel in which magic is quietly woven into everyday life.
At the edge of the Twilight Alley—beginning behind a sanctuary hidden in the leaves—there’s an unusual little shop. Its windows and shelves are stocked with wagashi—traditional Japanese sweets—and its threshold is open to anyone who now especially needs warmth and support: a schoolgirl in love, a timid realtor, or a young mother who has lost her confidence.
Guests choose one treat—and it helps bring them closer to their most cherished desire. But sometimes it comes true in a way that’s quite different from how they imagined. Isn’t that what the mysterious owner is hinting at? And wait… are those fox ears really visible from under his hair?..
Patience. Like thick, sticky caramel in the filling, what matters most appears gradually—just let time do its work.
