From the very first moment she set foot in South Korea, Barbara
Zitwer, literary agent to some of the most celebrated,
prize-winning Korean authors, fell head-over-heels in love,
discovering there a renewed sense of happiness and energy. In this
witty, charming book, Zitwer shares all that she has learnt about
this fascinating country: a vibrant, global powerhouse of culture
and industry with an enduring devotion to the ancient philosophies
of han, heung and jeong (resilience, joy and the art of giving). We
follow Zitwer as she travels from the buzzing capital of Seoul to
meeting Buddhist nuns in a mountain temple, from the bizarre theme
park within the Demilitarised Zone to the tropical island of Jeju,
home to haenyeo, the inspirational, octogenarian, female divers.
Along the way she regales us with hilarious anecdotes of her
cultural faux pas, top travel tips and local recipes as well as
magical moments of understanding and connection. The Korean Book of
Happiness invites you to explore a beguiling culture and learn how
the Korean way can make your life happier and more fulfilled.
Joey Rubin is a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, single and a
workaholic. When her architectural firm sends her to the English
countryside to oversee the renovation of an ancient stately home,
it seems like a dream come true.
