Hika Harada's Dinner at the Night Library is a gentle, magical novel about a mysterious library that appears only at night, where visitors can share meals and stories. Through interconnected narratives, Harada explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the healing power of sharing food and conversation. The novel becomes a meditation on how we find community in unexpected places and how stories nourish us in ways beyond the physical.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Harada understands that sometimes what we need most isn't answers but company. This novel reminds us that the best magic is the kind that brings people together, and that sharing a meal can be its own form of healing.
