What you need to know before your trail

On the first day of the monsoon an old ramshackle building appears. This is The Rainfall Market. Inside you will find magical bookstores, hairdressers, perfumeries and anything your heart desires.

But you cannot enter without an invitation.

Serin, who lives in a small flat with her mother and dreams of a bigger, better life, can’t believe her luck when she receives a ticket inviting her to step inside The Rainfall Market.

Once inside she will have the opportunity to swap her life for a new one. A better one.

Accompanied by Isha the cat and followed by a mysterious shadow, Serin tentatively steps inside. There she is told she has just one week to choose the perfect life and find true happiness.

However, there is a catch.

If she doesn’t find her dream life, she’ll be trapped inside the market forever . . .

Travel Guide

The Rainfall Market

Oh what a joy of a place!

The author thought of this place in a dream apparently and he created it in this book. what a special place it is. You Yeong-Gwang was born in Seongnam in 1984. He wrote this story during breaks while delivering food for a living. I love this next line:

“He felt truly happy while writing this story and wishes for all readers to find healing and courage through it so that they may go out and find their own happiness.”

That’s the true location of the Rainfall market – within your heart.
