The lucky ride

a novel full of opportunity
Yasushi Kitagawa ; translated by Takami Nieda
Book - 2025

"Shuichi is on the hook to paying the company back his salary and his commission for the past year after losing multiple contracts. This new looming debt means that he will have to cancel the trip to Paris he and his wife have been planning for a year. A trip that his family desperately needs as his teenage daughter has stopped going to school and won't leave her room. Shuichi believes that he's the unluckiest person in Japan. A strange taxi driver appears when Shuichi is at his lowest and has no direction. The taxi driver offers to take him to his next potential opportunity, should he seize it. In the backseat of this taxi Shuichi embarks on a philosophical and magical ride learning that luck is not inherent, it's an investment built over time and even over generations"--
