The Korean smash hit available for the first time in English, a slice-of-life novel for readers of Matt Haig\'s The Midnight Library and Gabrielle Zevin\'s The Storied Life of AJ Fikry.
Surrounded by friends, writers, and the books that connect them all, she finds her new story as the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop transforms into an inviting space for lost souls to rest, heal, and remember that it\'s never too late to scrap the plot and start again..
But the long hours in the shop give her time to mull over what makes a good bookseller and store, and as she starts to read hungrily, host author events, and develop her own bookselling philosophy, she begins to ease into her new setting.
For the first few months, all Yeongju does is cry, deterring visitors.
Quitting her job and divorcing her husband, Yeongju moves to a small residential neighborhood outside the city, where she opens the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop.
Yet an abandoned dream nags at her, and in a leap of faith, she leaves her old life behind.
With her high--flying career, demanding marriage, and busy life in Seoul, she knows she should feel successful, but all she feels is drained.
Yeongju is burned out.
