'Holding on to the belief that life had meaning and must go on, I, too, would carry on.'
In this million-copy bestseller from Korea, the owner of a corner store takes in a homeless man who does a good deed – a kind soul whose presence will transform the whole neighbourhood.
Seoul Station is home to Dokgo, a man with no memories of his past. Until one day his subdued existence is disrupted when he stumbles upon a lost wallet, triggering a chain of events that will change the course of his life.
Enter Mrs. Yeom, a retired teacher turned convenience-store owner, who, upon discovering Dokgo's act of kindness in returning her purse, offers him a meal as a token of her gratitude. Their chance encounter blossoms into an unexpected alliance when the man’s bravery saves the store from ruin, earning him not just a job but a place in the heart of the neighbourhood.
But just when things are looking up for Dokgo, Mrs. Yeom's troubled son, eager to sell the store, hires a detective to dig into the mysterious man's past and unearth what he seems to be trying so hard to forget . . .
The Second Chance Convenience Store is a moving and joyful story of a woman fighting for her community and a man who has lost everything except the will to try again.

A wonderful read

By the nature of a convenience store, the people and products are transient, nothing and no one stays there long term. It’s a revolving door for people from all walks of life — the homeless, the retired, the aged parents, the adult children, the actress turned playwright. The store offers the opportunity to recharge, refuel, restock and thereafter continue on your journey. Just like some products sell out fast whilst some others stay a while on the shelf, some people spend little time in the store and get what they need, on the other hand some may need to stay a little while longer till they’re back on their feet.
Following the stories of everyone in the book was quite interesting and it was nice to see some relationships repaired, and some others were left to the readers’/listeners’ imagination. Great book overall.
A nice cosy listen

It was just too preachy
