My life's autobiography: When the white pages burst forth with the vibrant colours of a fresh 21-year-old.

Hello, fellow bookworms who have visited the newly opened bookstore of Emma Vu, a Vietnamese shopkeeper who has decided to open a small shop of her own in the heart of the prosperous British capital.

​

I was born and raised in Vietnam and had a tranquil life, which I thought was enough. Until I made the hasty decision to study abroad in England, the fast pace and bustle of London life drove me, and the collisions formed me into the person I am now, who is no longer pleased with what is usual.

​

This little bookstore started when I suddenly realised that if everyone's life is a book, how do I write it well enough that people might stumble upon it and ponder every page? A good book has its depth and makes an imprint on the reader, or at the very least helps them learn something after they finish the book. Then there is only one way for the book's owner to learn a lot, go far, and dare to go beyond the limits the mind sets for itself.

​

I hope readers find what they are looking for when they come here. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, please choose a sunny seat, a cup of sweet, milky coffee, and let the aroma of a fresh book guide you on the journey that I went on.
