Meet your next Japanese fiction obsession – perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and Convenience Store Woman
What does the way you spend a small amount of money say about your life?
In How to Use 3,000 Yen, Hika Harada weaves a warm, wise and deeply relatable story of three generations of women navigating love, work, family—and the quiet anxieties of money. From a young woman confronting the fragility of financial independence, to a mother managing a household on a single income, to a grandmother facing the uncertainty of old age, each must rethink what security, freedom and happiness really mean.
As their lives intersect, small everyday choices begin to carry extraordinary weight. Can careful saving shape a better future? And when life refuses to go to plan, what truly matters most?
Blending gentle humour with sharp insight, this uplifting novel offers not just a story, but a fresh perspective on money, modern life and the ties that hold us together.
Perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.
Alison Watts is the award-winning translator of The Boy and the Dog, What You are Looking For is in the Library and other highly acclaimed contemporary Japanese fiction. She lives in Australia.
