Sayaka Murata, a Japanese writer, created the character of Keiko, who forces us to reflect on the definition of normality and acceptance. Her novel is not only a story about life in a convenience store, but above all about the search for one's own identity in a world full of expectations and pressure. Murata subtly shows how society tries to force individuals into a corset, without allowing them to be themselves.

The book "Convenience Store Woman" is a must-read for anyone who feels different and is looking for their place in the world. It is a story about how it is worth being true to yourself, even if it means being an outsider. Murata's novel is also an excellent portrait of Japanese society, which on the one hand values tradition and conformism, and on the other hand opens up to new ideas and values.
