A GLOBAL BESTSELLER and WATERSTONES TOP FICTION PICK FOR 2023

Yeongju had followed society's script to the letter: university, marriage, respectable career. But when it all crumbled, she made a bold decision. "I must start a bookshop," she declared, abandoning her high-flying job to pursue her dream.

In a charming Seoul neighbourhood, Yeongju's bookshop becomes a sanctuary for lost souls. A lonely barista, a dissatisfied coffee roaster, and a writer who sees something special in Yeongju - all find solace among the shelves. The Hyunam-dong Bookshop transforms into a place where they learn to truly live.

This captivating tale explores the healing power of literature and the art of finding one's place in the world. It's a love letter to books that will resonate with bibliophiles everywhere.

Critics and readers alike have praised this debut novel as "profound", "heart-warming", and "a balm for the soul". It's a cosy, thought-provoking read that reminds us of the importance of happiness and the meaning of 'home'.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
