Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop, by Hwang Bo-reum - Milly
As the winter nights get darker and colder, I can think of no better gift to brighten the short days ahead than this stunning book. For book lovers everywhere, this is like the perfect blanket. It immediately wraps you up in the warmth and joy of this fantastic story.
Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop is such a wonderful, heart-warming story that will fill the reader with delight, whilst championing the importance of books and bookshops, and the difference they can make to people’s lives. With a beautiful story at its heart, it is perfect for those looking for hope and inspiration in their own lives. It is a love letter to books, and this one is not to be missed.
The themes of finding meaning in life and mindfulness are threaded throughout the novel. I found it gently encouraged the reader to reflect on their own choices and desires in life. I really loved this book, and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended and definitely one of my favourite books of 2023.
