The Book Kitchen

Yoo Jjin, talented and driven, is predicted a brilliant career. But at thirty-two, the woman abandons her successful life in Seoul and moves to a tiny village by a lake. Her new project—a book café boarding house—seems like a whim and an inevitable failure to the people around her. But… it’s as if a magnet pulls the most different people to “The Book Kitchen.” Those who have lost their purpose in life, and those who are tangled up in their feelings. Those who fear stopping for even a minute, and those who can’t bring themselves to take the next step. Those who must make the hardest decision of their lives.

Yoo Jjin offers everyone coffee and a book to match their taste—and soon magic starts happening in the little café without a drop of actual magic. Together with Yoo Jjin, we’ll live in “The Book Kitchen” for a whole year: admiring nature in the most picturesque mountain region, trying the most delicious Korean dishes, and listening to the most surprising stories of its guests.
