The Night Pharmacy: A Novel

Summary

The bestselling Korean novel about a pharmacist who provides a sanctuary for the weary and the wounded with nowhere else to go—and how this calm world is disrupted by a late-night robbery.

Tucked away in a quiet Seoul neighborhood, a beloved all-night pharmacy quietly welcomes the city’s tired and restless looking for some peace and comfort. It is run by “Boho,” a stoic, seemingly indifferent pharmacist known for her precise and accurate prescriptions and her ability to identify symptoms her customers have overlooked. Boho takes care of the sick, the wounded, and the downtrodden, dispensing medicine for both physical and emotional healing.

But the pharmacy’s peace is shattered when it is inadvertently involved in a drug-related incident that shocks the community. Suddenly, connections and secrets surface, revealing that Boho is not quite what she has seemed. But then, neither are most people she treats . .
