À propos de cet audio
If you could swap your life for a better one, which would you choose?
On the outskirts of Rainbow Town, there is an old, abandoned house. They say that if you send a letter detailing your misfortunes there, you could receive a ticket. If you bring this ticket to the house on the first day of the rainy season, you'll be granted entrance into the mysterious Rainfall Market—where you can choose to completely change your life.
No one is more surprised than Serin when she receives a ticket. Lonely and with no real prospects for a future, Serin ventures to the market, determined to create a better life for herself.
There, she meets a magical cat companion named Issha and they search through bookstores, perfumeries, and fantastical realms while Serin tries to determine what her perfect life will look like.
The catch? Serin only has one week to find her happiness or be doomed to vanish into the market forever.
And all the while, a shadow follows quietly behind them…
Ce que les critiques en disent
"The Rainfall Market is a warm and wondrous story about the pursuit of that most elusive of treasures: a perfect life. Gentle, affirming, and utterly transportive, this audiobook will leave you with gratitude for the small things that matter most–and also, the urge to hug your cat.”
—Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
"With all the fantastical magic of a Studio Ghibli film, the world You Yeong-Gwang creates in this short and moving novel will enchant readers. This is a perfect story to share with the whole family. For fans of Diana Wynne Jones or anyone who loves fables and fairy tales." —Booklist
A satisfied smile surely awaits listeners of The Rainfall Market. The feel-good, magical narrative features a teen's self-discovery quest with (slightly) softened reminders of universal, contemporary societal challenges. The Rainfall Market's undeniable antidotal qualities will surely soothe minds and warm hearts." —Shelf Awareness
