Can two very different women put aside their differences to save the bookstore they love? The Japanese bestseller that spawned a seven-book series - adapted for TV and 200,000 copies sold

Riko Nishioka is deputy manager of the Pegasus Shobo Kichijoji bookstore. After five years working part-time she's finally secured a full-time position at the age of forty. But now she has a nemesis.

Aki Kobata, twenty-seven, has waltzed in as a full-time employee thanks to her family connections. A free spirit with a rebellious streak and a silver spoon in her mouth, she's anything but a team player.

The two are constantly clashing - both at work and over their personal lives. But when Riko is given notice the store will be closing in six month's time, they face a stark choice. Can they put their petty enmities aside to boost sales and save their livelihoods or will they go down fighting . . . each other?
