Description
Situated in the heart of a rapidly gentrifying district of Seoul, the Yeonnam-dong Smiley Laundromat is a haven of tranquillity where the extraordinary stories of ordinary residents unfold. When someone leaves a notebook behind, the laundromat becomes a place that brings people together. Customers begin adding candid diary entries, opening their hearts and inspiring acts of kindness from neighbours who were once merely faces in the crowd. But the diary holds more than first appears, and before long the laundromat’s regulars join forces to solve a mystery and help its former owner find peace. Translated from the Korean by Shanna Tan, this heartwarming, healing novel is about the preciousness of human relationships and the power of solidarity in an increasingly cold, fast-paced and virtual world.
