Synopsis

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

'Each story within is its own special candy, sweet and delicious! You'll want to savour each one!' Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

*****

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.

****

'The stories are gentle, yet profound, offering reflections on love, regret and the complexities of human relationships. Such a beautiful story that lingers in your thoughts for a long time after' Reader Review *****
