Beschreibung
After breaking down at the office and abruptly quitting her job, thirty-year-old Jungmin holes up in her apartment, speaking to no one for days on end. When she finally emerges, she stumbles upon a pottery studio in her neighborhood and is invited in by the mysterious workshop teacher. The smell of clay, the light filtering through the plant filled windows, the friendly cat, and the incredible coffee the students drink awaken her senses and make her feel alive and inspired for the first time in months.
As the seasons change, Jungmin slowly returns to herself and builds a new community with the other members of the studio, who are all working through their own pasts at the pottery wheel. When the holidays approach and snow piles up on the studio windowsill, Jungmin realizes how much she has changed—with her hands busy and her mind clear, she may be ready to face the memories she’s been running from and open her heart.
For fans of What You Are Looking For Is in the Library and Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, Yeon’s charming English-language debut is a testament to the joy of slowing down in a fast-paced world, and an homage to the art of ceramics and the power of friendship. Readers won’t want to leave the enchanting world of The Healing Season of Pottery after the final page.

I fell for the pretty cover tbh 💔
As a lover of Japanese and Korean translated fiction I just couldn't resist the beautiful cover of "The healing season of pottery" as well as the setting of the story at a cozy pottery studio. Unfortunately, this book was rather disapointing - the depiction of the craft of pottery as well as the (many) characters and their somewhat sad backstories felt rather flat and superficial to me. I truly didn't like the writing style of this book - a lot of over-explaining of random situations, weird metaphors and so many characters were inroduced without much depth or structure to them. A rather boring read 🥲
Eine sehr ruhige Geschichte, die mit den stillen Weisheiten zwischen den Zeilen glänzt.
Das ist Slice-of-Life wie ich es liebe und schätze. Eine langsame, ruhige Geschichte, die ohne Drama auskommt. Stattdessen liegt der Fokus auf der Entwicklung der Charaktere und dem alltäglichen Leben. Ich habe mir so einige Zeilen markiert, um sie mir später noch einmal durchzulesen. Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen und jetzt möchte ich auch unbedingt einen Töpferkurs belegen.
