The first title in the “Lo-Ro” series, which highlights local romance stories set in distinctive Korean regions. Restoration is set in Gu-rye, a town near Mount Jirisan, Korea’s first national park and home to moon bear restoration projects. The story unfolds along the banks of the pristine Seomjin River and in the real-life secondhand bookstore “Seomjin River Book Salon.” A screwball comedy-style love story between a woman who restores books and a man who restores wildlife, it is a sweet healing romance rooted in the culture and landscape of Gu-rye.
