Ein Café unter Kirschbäumen. Ein magischer Ort. Eine Einladung an das Leben.Das Café Marble liegt an einem kleinen Fluss im Schatten der Kirschbäume in einem Vorort von Tokio. Mit seinen wenigen Tischen aus unbehandeltem Holz ist es eine Oase der Ruhe. Hier arbeitet der junge Wataru, der stets einen klugen Rat für seine Gäste hat. Heimlich schwärmt er für die junge Frau, die jeden Donnerstag bei ihm eine Tasse heißen Kakao trinkt. Jede Woche sitzt sie an ihrem Stammplatz und schreibt Briefe. Manchmal hat sie dabei ein Lächeln im Gesicht, manchmal eine Träne. Wataru würde gerne mehr von ihr erfahren. Er empfängt aber auch noch weitere Gäste. Sie alle kommen, um in dem Café einen Moment innezuhalten. Und die meisten Besucher brauchen mehr als nur eine heiße Schokolade, um ihrem Leben eine neue Wendung zu verleihen.'Ein inspirierendes Buch für alle Sinnsuchenden.' Gala
