Summary:

"With good books, good food, and companionship, the Book Kitchen fills people's tired souls. Yoojin, who grew up in Seoul, opened the Book Kitchen by chance in Soyangri, a village two hours from Seoul by car. The Book Kitchen functions as a bookshop and café, where books are sold and book-related events take place. The second function of the Book Kitchen is a Book Stay, where one can stay overnight in one of the building's four complexes. All four complexes are arranged in a cross shape with a botanical garden in the middle. Over the course of one year, multiple characters each find comfort and hope at Yoojin's Book Kitchen. From a music idol facing an identity crisis, to a promising lawyer beset by an unsettling medical diagnosis, to a young, failed music director who has had to rein in his dreams, they happen upon Soyangri at pivotal moments in their lives. The Book Kitchen offers good food, good books, and the company of people to whom they can open their hearts"-- Provided by publisher.
