The perfect cosy read ***** A heartwarming and soothing journey ***** One of the best books Ive read in a while A beautiful book ***** A must read for anyone at a crossroads in their life ***** This book held my heart profoundly deep and inspiring ***** Perfect for fans of cosy fiction with heart and delicious detail *****

In a peaceful village in the countryside, Yoojin has left behind the stresses of her city life in Seoul and created a book lovers 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 Yoojins 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.
