About this listen

Your next summer listen! The feel-good Korean bestseller about small-town life and chosen family.

FROM THE TRANSLATOR OF WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP AND MARIGOLD MIND LAUNDRY.

'When will I get to be the main character in my own life?'

Burnt out by life in Seoul, Jebi has come to Jeju Island for a much-needed summer holiday. But on the last day of her trip, she loses everything: phone, credit cards, plane ticket. Looking for help, she stumbles across a tiny photography studio. Then and there, she makes a choice that will change her life forever.

Jebi accepts the offer of a job from the studio's frazzled owner, Seokyeong. The photos they take together capture the magic of the island and its people. From the young couple struggling with cold feet before their wedding, to the ex-cop haunted by secrets from his past, and the geologist who discovers a precious fossil on one of Jeju's pristine beaches, each has a story to tell.

By following her dreams, Jebi finds the family she never had.

Loved the narrator, she did a great job.

The story was beautiful and so human. The description helped me paint a vivid picture of Jeju and brought the characters to life.

Peaceful, reflective and wholesome
