‘It is high time that a new book be written
about Korea, and Jennifer Barclay’s fresh, amusing and light-hearted
take on the country seems to be precisely the right approach.’ –
Simon Winchester
Feeling professionally burned out after turning
30, Jennifer Barclay had a hankering to experience something different.
But after quitting her job and moving to South Korea with her
boyfriend, she soon found life in Seoul lonely and bewildering.
Desperate to connect with Korean life and people, she wandered
the country alone, where the people’s kindness and pride
in their culture slowly began to work its magic.
