So japanese translation novels are a bit on the costlier side.Recieved in good quality. Coming to story of novel, how a japanese girl tries to fit in her society roles as a conveinence store worker. Best part of the book was how she loved her job. This novel raises some questions- do we live for ourselves or for the society expectations. What will the people say if i do this or that. This story will make you think this. I personally liked the ending and the protagonist of story. Such stories need to be told again and again. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A good book. *by M***A on 25 March 2023* Even though it wasn't a 5 star for me, I will surely still recommend this.The story is about a 36 year old woman who is working in this convenience store for 18 years.She has 0 experience of boys or dating and society taunts her for it.The book started of great but I hated it mid ways and liked the ending.At some point, I hated her so much but I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened next...Good book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Convenience Store Woman: A Novel - Earthlings: A Novel - Life Ceremony: Stories --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/499265165-convenience-store-woman-paperback-17-september-2019](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/499265165-convenience-store-woman-paperback-17-september-2019) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
