Elena Hanceanu: Market of passing lives. Life is a Story - story.one, Gebunden

Klappentext

In a small town in the North of Romania, Mara spends her days selling fruit at a little marketplace close to the train halt. She lives with her uncle Dan and her tough grandfather who demands that they all breathe under the same rule:
Never give anything for free.

Once Mara discovers a gift that allows her to experience other people's memories through their belongings, she struggles to stay loyal to this principle. In order to keep the family business going, Mara tries to find a balance between her need to life a fuller life and her duty at the fruit stall. She latches onto stranger's memories imbedded in their old items and relives their past as a way to escape her current life.

Market of Passing Lives is a story of fleeting encounters, hidden gifts, and the weight of the past. It explores the invisible threads that connect us to one another and the memories we leave behind, even when we've long since moved on.
