Book Introduction
“Witness the birth of a fresh literary talent whose emergence has been eagerly awaited by readers across the globe!”
In a first for domestic publishing history, publication rights have been exported to six foreign countries even before release.
What if there existed a store where you could buy the happiness you craved, instead of peddling your unhappiness? Dive into a thrilling adventure fantasy that unravels the tale of Serin, a high school girl who discovers a mysterious store that opens only when it rains. Accompanied by Issha, the guide cat, and goblins that pilfer people's hearts, an enchanting narrative unfolds.
"The Store Opens When It Rains" is a piece that garnered widespread attention even before its publication. It made its debut on Tumblbug, where it raised nearly 20 million won in donations, outstripping the amounts raised by best sellers like "Dollar Goat Dream Department Store" and "I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki." The book's acclaim peaked during the London Book Fair held in April 2023, when it achieved the unprecedented feat of exporting its copyright to six overseas countries (Poland, Portugal, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, and Russia) even before its release. This marked a first in Korean publishing history, heralding the arrival of a ‘monster new writer’. What's the secret allure of this novel that it engenders such high anticipation across national and linguistic barriers?
The novel has been described as "a meeting point of the Harry Potter series and Ghibli animations," and it has given readers "the courage and solace to live more robustly." Its appeal lies in its readability, and its capacity to touch readers deeply and leave a lasting impression. The blend of a visual, vivid depiction, a swift narrative pace, the fusion of fantasy and coming-of-age themes, and most importantly, the author's sincerity and the hopeful, courageous messages conveyed through a gentle lens, transcend language and culture. If you're eager to experience the awe-inspiring 'power of story' that the whole world is eagerly awaiting, let's accept the invitation to "The Store Opens When It Rains" right now.
