Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum

Unhappy with her life, Yeongju opens a bookstore in Seoul. She hires a young man named Minjun to be the barista, making drinks for the customers. In Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop, the reader is immersed in everyday lives of the bookshop workers and frequent customers. There's Mincheol (a high school student) and his mother Heejoo. Jimi, unhappy in her marriage, owns the coffee roastery that supplies beans to the cafe and has become very good friends with Yeongju. Lastly, a woman named Jungsuh spends hours knitting at Hyunam-Dong. Her skills are a calming presence for several of the regulars. A quiet, relaxing read.
