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...

If you're lost, you'll find The Memory Bookshop Where the shelves are endless. The books, strangely familiar. And where memories are bound in pages.

When Jiwon cautiously crosses the threshold, she's met by Manager K and offered no explanation, only a mysterious hourglass and a rare opportunity: to travel back to three chapters of her life.

But returning to the past isn't without risk. In exchange, Jiwon has to give up time in her future.

As she wanders between the shelves, the bookshop humming with memories and regrets, she must ask herself: can the past truly be rewritten? Or does the real magic lie in the life she's yet to live?

Warm, wise and full of wonder, The Memory Bookshop is a story about the power of books to carry us home.
