What to expect

The first book of Mi-Ye Lee's whimsical yet moving duology, translated from the Korean language by Sandy Joosun Lee.

THE NO.1 KOREAN BESTSELLER WITH OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD

In a mysterious town that lies hidden in our collective subconscious, there's a quaint little store where all kinds of dreams are sold . . .

Day and night, visitors both human and animal from all over the world shuffle in sleepily in their pyjamas, lining up to purchase their latest adventure. Each floor in the department store sells a special kind of dream, including nostalgic dreams about your childhood, trips you've taken, and delicious food you've eaten, as well as nightmares and more mysterious dreams.

In Dallergut Dream Department Store we meet Penny an enthusiastic new-hire; Dallergut, the flamboyant owner of the department store; Agnap Coco, producer of special dreams; Vigo Myers, an employee in the mystery department as well as the cast of curious, funny and strange clientele that regularly visit the store. When one of the most coveted and expensive dreams gets stolen during Penny's first week, we follow along with her as she tries to uncover the workings of this wonderfully whimsical world.

A captivating story that will leave a lingering magical feeling in listeners' minds, this is the first in a best-selling duology for anyone exhausted from the reality of their daily life.

Interesting idea for a story, buying dreams of your choice. I hate to criticise the narrator but unfortunately the narration was very bland with little or no discernable difference between the characters.
