"Originally published in Korean as Shikmul, Sangjum by Hankyoreh, in 2024"--Title page verso
"Tucked away in the corner of a neighborhood in Sejin City, South Korea, is The Plant Shop. Shop owner Yoohee has started anew, and her meticulously grown foliage thrives under her tender care. To both her customers and herself, The Plant Shop is a refuge, where petunias and marigolds bloom and the air itself is like an elixir of peace. By day, Yoohee dispenses advice on gardening, but she also finds herself offering a special service off the clock. Women who are at their wits' end come to her about a man they hope might disappear from their lives. Pulling extra hours is taxing, but Yoohee has encountered--and dealt with--these kind of men in her own life, men who treated her (and her beloved plants) with utter disrespect. So as night falls, Yoohee trades her apron for a shovel and a hoe and disappears into her moonlit garden. There, she buries not just the remains of the day, but also finely ground powders and sometimes the bloody remnants of a few unfortunate encounters. As men begin to disappear...will anyone ever suspect the Plant Lady?"-- Provided by publisher
