2024: A story about the rejuvenating power of pottery!
She rubbed the spoiled clay with her fingertips. Like a wound as it heals, the traces faded, and had soon vanished completely, as if they’d never been there at all.
Burnt out by her newswriting job, Jungmin abruptly quits; she’s worked tirelessly for years and she needs to make a change.
Now, after months of hibernation, it’s time to put her life back together. Venturing out into the streets near Seoul, she stumbles upon the Soyo pottery workshop. Drawn in by its light and warmth, and the smell of clay and coffee, Jungmin feels something unfurl within her…
Anywhere where you can make your own pottery!
This is a balm of a book for the soul. Set in Seoul too – with the Soyo workshop being the place where the characters find the calmness in life and they try to reset.
This is a gentle novel but one very firmly set in the world of crafts, pottery and healing.
