Description

AN UPLIFTING AND HEALING BOOK THAT ASKS - WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR LIFE FOR ANOTHER ONE?

'A warm and wondrous story [...] Gentle, affirming, and utterly transportive' Julie Long, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes


--
On the first day of monsoon the old ramshackle building appears – this is The Rainfall Market.

Inside: magical bookstores, hairdressers, perfumeries – anything your heart desires.

But to enter you need a Ticket.

And to get one you must write a letter telling of your misfortune.

Lonely schoolgirl Serin dreams of a bigger, better life.

And she can’t believe her luck when her letter of woe is answered with a Ticket.

Accompanied by Isha the cat, Serin enters Rainfall Market. She has just two weeks to choose a perfect life in exchange for her misfortunes.

But there is a catch.

If she doesn’t find the dream life she seeks, she’ll be trapped here forever . . .
