Memorias de una coreana entre plantas

Can plants teach us to accept change and move forward? In this book, written during a period of global uncertainty (between the summer of 2020 and the winter of 2022), acclaimed Korean novelist Kim Keum-hee shares her reflections born from observing her garden: a small ecosystem on her balcony where her plants grow, sicken, adapt, and survive the four seasons. From this everyday experience, Kim Keum-hee explores how caring for plants can become a form of self-care, a source of comfort, and a learning experience. Beyond their decorative function, the plants become silent companions during a difficult and solitary time, teaching her to accept what she cannot control, to respect the slowness of growth, and to find beauty in imperfection. A serene, warm, and luminous read, ideal for those seeking a space of calm in their daily lives.
