Description
What if there was a store that sold dreams, but you could only visit it when you were asleep? Which would you buy? And who might you become when you wake up?
WITH OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD, THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING SENSATION ARRIVES IN AMERICA
In a mysterious town hidden in our collective subconscious, there's a department store that sells dreams. Visitors, both human and animal, shuffle in day and night to purchase their latest adventure. Each floor specializes in a specific type of dream: childhood memories, food dreams, ice skating, dreams of stardom. Flying dreams are almost always sold out. Some seek dreams of loved ones who have died. There's a floor just for napping dreams, mostly visited by animals.
For Penny, an enthusiastic new hire, working at Dallergut is the opportunity of a lifetime. As she uncovers the workings of this whimsical world, she bonds with a cast of unforgettable characters, including Dallergut, the flamboyant and wise owner, Babynap Rockabye, a famous dream designer/influencer, Maxim, a nightmare producer. She meets the many customers who dream to heal, dream to grow, and dream to flourish.
The Dallergut Dream Department Store is a cozy, captivating, absolutely delightful story that will leave a lingering magical feeling in readers' minds. The first book in a bestselling duology, this love letter to humanity's whimsy and imagination is for anyone exhausted from the reality of daily life.
Advance Praise
"A page-turning bearhug of a novel that brings the elusive technicolor world of dream beautifully to life. Like all good fantasy fiction, Miye Lee smuggles in the big issues, too: the divide between rich and poor, the unrequited yearnings of the soul, and the aching pain of loss and bereavement. There’s a tenderness to the book, and the eponymous department store, in all its Wes-Anderson-like color and frippery, that envelopes the reader, making them long to stay there forever."—Alex Howard, author of The Ghost Cat
“These days I’m reading a book called Dallergut Dream Department Store and when they talk about the dream department store I can see it in my head. I imagine I’m shopping there as I read." —Wonwoo, member of the K-Pop group Seventeen
