A warm hug of a novel about a woman who leaves her busy
life in Seoul to open a bookshop café where you're invited to stay overnight.
Perfect for fans of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop.
In a peaceful village in the countryside, Yoojin has left behind the stresses
of her city life in Seoul and created a book loversâ paradise, a sanctuary for
weary souls just like herself. With its book-filled shelves and wafts of
delicious food from the café, Soyangri Book Kitchen offers its guests a true
escape: the warm embrace of an overnight bookstay.
Over one year, as the seasons change, seven people at a turning point in their
lives find their way to Yoojinâs door. Among them are a singer grappling with
an identity crisis, a promising lawyer confronted with a daunting medical
diagnosis, and a young musical director whose dreams have been stifled. As they
arrive in Soyangri, each of them will find their life subtly transformed by the
magic of its books and the kindness of its people.
