The Seoul Shop of Lost Things

A bestselling novel from South Korea and one of the most inspiring time-travel stories!
A gentle, comforting healing coming-of-age romance about learning to cope with life’s trials— a story that helps you find faith in yourself again.

Yu Haewon is the most ordinary Korean girl, burdened with painful memories she doesn’t want to revisit. She works with students and, out of habit, carefully gathers their lost little things: hair clips, pencil cases, pens, and even diaries…

One day, Haewon starts receiving strange phone calls: she’s asked to pick up items. Things from the past that she once lost—and things that don’t belong to her at all. Things from the future that hasn’t arrived yet. Each discovery becomes a key and gives her a chance to change herself.

Returning what’s been lost again and again, Haewon encounters people from the past and the present, as well as feelings that have long been demanding a honest reexamination. Will she be able to get out of this tangled maze, become happy—and support those who need her so badly?

And who is the mysterious owner of the forgotten diary named February?
