About the book

A charming book of linked stories with a sprinkling of cosy fantasy and a fable-like touch . . . available to pre-order in paperback!

'A delightful confection you'll enjoy reaching for whenever a craving for magic, healing, and wonder strikes' Samantha Sotto Yambao, bestselling author of Water Moon

*****

Welcome. We don't get many humans here.

At the end of Gloaming Lane, you'll find the Amberglow Candy Store, open only between the full moon and new moon. Kogetsu, the store's half-fox proprietor, offers wagashi confections that promise to change your life for the better.

Whether you're a lovesick teenage girl, a cripplingly shy estate agent, or a struggling first time mother, the mysterious Kogetsu has a sweet for your troubles. But be careful to follow the dosage!

Like the centre of the chewiest caramel, these life lessons only slowly reveal themselves - as Kogetsu's customers are about to discover . . .

The Amberglow Candy Store is a charming and cosy fable from Japan, that shows that help is always out there for those who seek it.

    5 short stories - with a red line as a whole

    A very wholesome read about the fates of 5 (or even 6) troubled human souls. It's about love, friendship and relationships in general and how they could affect us on a daily basis when something isn't right in this section. A little change could make the difference and especially watching ourselves closely. I enjoyed the last chapter, where all the stories came together and we got to know about the origins of the Amberglow Candy Store.

    Cozy Fantasy für Zwischendurch

    In knapp 220 Seiten lernen wir innerhalb von drei Kurzgeschichten drei Personen kennen, die im Amberglow Candy Store einkaufen und dadurch wichtige Erkenntnisse über ihr Leben erlangen. Im letzten Kapitel lernen wir dann noch die Hintergrund- beziehungsweise Entstehungsgeschichte des Amberglow Candy Store kennen. Ich fand das Buch unterhaltsam. Es war nichts besonderes interessantes, aber durchaus sehr nett für Zwischendurch.

Ich habe das Gefühl, es geht in die Richtung „Die Schokohexe“.
