A review by pdxpagemaster
Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum

hopeful lighthearted reflective slow-paced

4.0

cozy and reflective, this is a slice of life novel for anyone who has ever dreamed owning their own bookstore or for those of us who work as booksellers and want to romanticize our lives a little.

the translation from korean is expertly done while also keeping some of the language grammatical stylization.

this is a book of very little plot, but that is absolutely the point and holds your attention in a dream like state. slow and and calm, but delightful.
