Description
Yeongju has always done what was expected of her: attend university, marry a decent man and find a respectable job. When everything falls apart, she leaves her high-flying career behind and follows her dream of opening a bookshop. In a quaint Seoul neighbourhood, the Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes a refuge for Yeongju and her customers, including a lonely barista, an unhappily married coffee roaster and a writer who sees something special in her. Each carries disappointments from the past, and together they learn how to truly live. This heart-warming story explores finding comfort and acceptance, the importance of happiness and the healing power of books. Sarah Crossan calls it an exciting debut that is both gentle and invigorating, while readers praise its cosy atmosphere, beautiful characters and love for books, bookshops and everyone who loves them. The contents are in English.
