«Wonach suchen Sie?» Diese Frage stellt Sayuri Komachi allen Besuchern in ihrer kleinen Gemeindebibliothek in Tokio. Und sie meint die Frage durchaus im übertragenen Sinne. Denn die weise Bibliothekarin spürt genau, wonach die Menschen im Leben suchen: die Verkäuferin, die mit ihrem Job hadert, der schüchterne Buchhalter, der davon träumt, ein Antiquitätengeschäft zu eröffnen, oder die frischgebackene Mutter, die sich zwischen Beruf und Familie aufreibt … Sie alle stecken in einer Sackgasse. Und alle führt es früher oder später zu Frau Komachi in die Bibliothek. Ihre überraschenden Buchempfehlungen haben ungeahnte Folgen. Die Lektüre entpuppt sich als Katalysator für eine andere Denkweise und eröffnet neue Wege. Und letztlich hilft sie den Besuchern, ihre aktuelle Lebenskrise zu meistern. Denn Frau Komachi weiß: Bücher haben magische Kräfte und sind eine verlässliche Quelle der Inspiration.

La respuesta parece sencilla, pero la señora Komachi no es como otros bibliotecarios. Ella puede adivinar cuáles son los sueños, los deseos y los pesares de la persona a la que escucha. 
Y es así como una recomendación suya les puede cambiar la vida. Solo hace falta que se entreguen a la lectura de un libro inesperado.
