Description

 

 

There was only one thing on her mind.

I must start a bookshop.’

Yeongju did everything she was supposed to, go to university, marry a decent man, get a respectable job.

Then it all fell apart.

Burned out, Yeongju abandons her old life, quits her high-flying career, and follows her dream.

She opens a bookshop.

In a quaint neighbourhood in Seoul, surrounded by books, Yeongju and her customers take refuge.

From the lonely barista to the unhappily married coffee roaster, and the writer who sees something special in Yeongju – they all have disappointments in their past.

The Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes the place where they all learn how to truly live.
