Description

Situated in a rapidly gentrifying district of Seoul, Yeonnam-Dong's Smiley Laundromat is the setting for the extraordinary stories of ordinary residents. The laundromat offers a haven of reflection for locals, and when someone leaves a notebook behind, it becomes a place where people come together. One by one, customers begin jotting diary entries, inviting acts of kindness from neighbors who were once just faces in the crowd. But there is more to the diary than meets the eye, and soon the laundromat's regulars team up to solve a mystery and help the notebook's former owner find peace. A heartwarming debut that has captured Korean readers, this is a novel about the preciousness of human relationships and the power of solidarity in a world that is increasingly cold, fast-paced and virtual.
