A Day at the Market

From the early morning fruit vendors hawking their wares to a quiet morning spent savoring a cup of hot chocolate, from the glistening, silvery salmon announced by a fishmonger's bellow to the silent halls as they're hosed down one last time by the night workers, the full experience of a farmer's market is reflected in Sara Anderson's signature cut-paper style and pitch-perfect voice.

Set in the halls of Seattle's fabled Pike Place Market, a place Sara Anderson has shopped and loved for almost a quarter of a century, the book vividly recreates the cacophony, variety, joy, and life that can be found in every market across the land.
