About this audiobook
A tender and heartwarming novel about the rejuvenating power of island life, for fans of The Healing Season of Pottery and Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop.
Who are you once you've left it all behind?
Welcome to Songdo Island, a forgotten speck in the sea where time moves to the rhythm of the wind and the tides.
Here, Jian Cha has taken shelter in a weathered house, surrounded by wild grass and salty air. Back in the city, the relentless pace of her corporate job was fracturing her spirit. But on Songdo, Jian is learning to live slowly. Instead of high-pressure deadlines, she forages for seaweed at dawn and watches the sea burn crimson at sunset.
Each small struggle brings its own quiet lesson: clearing her land, mending a leaky roof and coaxing vegetables from stubborn soil become acts of discovery and renewal.
My Perfect Deserted Island invites readers to breathe more deeply, find beauty in the ordinary and remember that the universe offers space to heal - exactly when it is needed most.
