In the Time of Tangerines
After a painful fall from grace, Hannah-once a rising star in the world of publishing-escapes to the quiet coast of Jeju Island, where the rhythm of life is slow, the ocean is close, and the tangerine trees carry the scent of second chances. There, she meets Eric, a former film director retreating from his own regrets, now managing his late grandfather's tangerine farm. Both are running-from their pasts, from themselves, from the ache of things unsaid and undone. But in the stillness of farm life, where silence speaks louder than words and healing is found in the most mundane of moments, they begin to see each other clearly-perhaps for the first time. As seasons shift and the orchard ripens, Hannah and Eric discover that the quietest places can echo the loudest truths, and that sometimes, love doesn't come crashing in-it grows, slowly and unexpectedly, beneath the shade of the very trees that taught them how to stay. A tender, introspective romance about grief, healing, and the kind of love that comes after the storm.Complete
