In a peaceful village in the countryside, Yoojin has left behind the stresses of her city life in Seoul and created a book lovers' paradise, a sanctuary for weary souls just like herself. With its book-filled shelves and wafts of delicious food from the café, Soyangri Book Kitchen offers its guests a true escape: the warm embrace of an overnight bookstay. Over one year, as the seasons change, seven people at a turning point in their lives find their way to Yoojin's door. Among them are a singer grappling with an identity crisis, a promising lawyer confronted with a daunting medical diagnosis, and a young musical director whose dreams have been stifled. As they arrive in Soyangri, each of them will find their life subtly transformed by the magic of its books and the kindness of its people.

Welcome to Soyangri Book Kitchen, where a woman leaves her busy life in Seoul to open a bookshop café in the countryside where guests can stay overnight. The irresistible, escapist and cosy read to curl up with this autumn, for fans of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop. In a peaceful village in the countryside, far from the bustling heart of Seoul, lies a book lovers' paradise. With its wafts of delicious food and book-filled shelves, Soyangri Book Kitchen is managed by its plucky proprietor Yoojin. Her aim? To create a sanctuary for weary souls like herself. But the book kitchen is more than just a place to eat or read - it's a place which offers its guests a true escape, not just inside the pages of its many books, but in the warm embrace of an overnight bookstay. Over one year, seven people at a crossroads in their lives find their way to Yoojin's book kitchen. Among them are Da-in, a singer grappling with an identity crisis, Sohee, a promising lawyer confronted with a daunting medical diagnosis, and Soohyuk, a young musical director whose dreams have been stifled. As they arrive in Soyangri, each of them will find their life subtly transformed by the magic of its books and the kindness of its people.
