THE KOREAN SENSATION

For lovers of The Midnight Library and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, discover a spellbinding novel about a mysterious bookshop that exists outside of time and space, where the past is only a page away...

***

Which moment should I go back to? Past regrets unspooled in my mind. All the what-ifs.

Jiwon's life has been slowly disintegrating since her mum died. Until one day, caught in a downpour, she comes across a mysterious bookstore. Uneasy, she turns to leave when a voice calls out: 'If you open that door—You can leave, but you can never come back here.'

The Memory Bookshop stores all of one's memories within an infinite number of books and appears to those who are looking for a reason to live. Its manager, 'K', offers visitors the chance to travel back three times, in exchange for part of their futures.

Browsing the shelves, Jiwon must choose whether to revisit three chapters of her life. But will changing the past really rewrite her future? Only The Memory Bookshop has the answers - and it'll teach Jiwon about what it really means to live.
