The Casual Poet Library Book Club’s upcoming read will be one that is beloved among our shelf-owners and patrons alike - Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum.
“There was only one thing on her mind. I must start a bookshop.”
In a quaint neighbourhood in Seoul, surrounded by books, Yeongju and her customers take refuge from the overwhelming race they each experience in the outside world. From the lonely barista to the unhappily married housewife, and the writer who sees something special in Yeongju - the Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes the backdrop for a warm slice-of-life narrative about finding comfort and courage in new beginnings, and the healing power of books.
