I am now well and truly back into Japanese translated books. I bought this one a while ago and really what attracted me to it was the cover. Both the book and audiobook have beautiful covers (see above and below).

The book is very engaging and follows a Tokyo taxi driver and his clients, the stories are all intertwined with people who all flit across each others stories. The atmosphere is very good and I enjoy the cast of characters and their stories. The problem is I would want more, more depth to the stories and book.
