_______________________________
Would you share your deepest secrets to save a friend?
In a tranquil neighbourhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their bedroom mirrors are shining.
At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there's a catch: if they don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished.
As time passes, a devastating truth emerges: only those brave enough to share their stories will be saved.
Tender, playful, gripping, LONELY CASTLE IN THE MIRROR is a mesmerizing tale about the importance of reaching out, confronting anxiety and embracing human connection.

    Lonely Castle

    Der Anfang ist etwas slow-paced, aber danach nimmt es Fahrt auf und wird zu einem page-turner. Tolle Charaktere die alle gut ausdifferenziert wurden. Das Buch hat mich gepackt und war wie eine liebevolle und tröstende Umarmung.

    My favourite book.

    This will always be one of my (very few) 5* ratings. I love this book with all of my heart. It managed to make me cry with a single word. I wish I had a signed copy so badly. Can't wait for more books from Mizuki Tsujimura.

    Heart wrenching & hear warming

    A beautiful novel that totally took me by surprise. It deals with the topic of bullying and social anxiety so well and at the same time it's magical & mysterious. I absolutely loved this reading experience.

    ganz wunderbar

    ich wünschte ich hätte dieses Buch bereits früher entdeckt, es hätte mir das Leben in der Schule ein bisschen leichter gemacht, denke ich. Für jeden, der sich, vor allem während der Schulzeit, aber auch darüber hinausgehend, einsam gefühlt hat und so, als wäre er/sie im Leben abgehängt worden. Ganz große Empfehlung :)

    a tender yet emotional tale

    4.75* This is a tender yet emotional tale about daily survival, the power of friendship self-love, and the state of our society and the school system. A story about 7 kids who can't attend school for various reasons and get invited through their wall mirrors into a castle in another world. There, they can spend their time instead of alone at home while also looking for a key to unlock a wish come true. But that mission is just secondary compared to the connections of trust and support these children learn to form with each other. The novel shines a light on the mental state of many school children in Japan in general and particularly on the various reasons children might not be capable of attending school. In that aspect, the novel did a remarkably great job of being respectful, not preachy, and very careful of a realistic portrayal of the children's circumstances. None of the background stories seemed over the top dramatic or scandalous, but still infuses them with emotion and understanding. I loved how realistic the struggle, the inner walls, the setbacks, and the very slow opening up between the members of the group were described. It's a journey back to oneself, about the importance of supportive relationships and trust in oneself and others. I don't want to spoil the end, but all the revelations had me crying my eyes out, and I think the story wrapped up beautifully. Such a great start into a new reading year.

    A new favourite

    What started off as a nice, mysterious & adventurous fantasy turned out as one of the best and most heartbreaking books I've ever read - heartbreaking in a good way though. A truly precious & unique read. This is one of these books you wish you could read again for the first time...

    Buch (Taschenbuch)

    “In another world, we were already friends.”

    A really moving story about bullying, friendship, and mental health, diving deep into the internal world of its teenage characters. Kokoro’s hesitance to reach out for help showcased the complexity of adolescence - caught between the desire for independence and the longing for support. There is a bit of a mystery sprinkled into the book with a few twists that were hidden in minuscule clues which all came together seamelessly and made for quite the emotional ending. While the pacing was a bit slow in the beginning, and I wish the book would have taken more time to dive into the root cause for the bullying and loneliness of the kids in this society, it ultimately shines a light on the magic of connection and emphasizes how empathy and kindness make all the difference.
