Description
A sleepy little town is plagued by an endless rain that seems to have become inextricably linked with its memories. As the water cycle washes away recollections, the town's residents struggle to hold on to their past. Laverne, one of those affected, begins keeping a journal as she tries to make sense of her surroundings. The constant rainfall poses a daily threat, from leaky faucets to the near-constant downpour, and even a careless trip outside can be disastrous. With mysterious forces at work, calls for rebellion are on everyone's lips, but Laverne has no interest in fighting. She just wants to survive in a world where every drop of water is treacherous. In this gripping novella, Naomi Salman explores the consequences of a town's memories becoming part of its very environment.
