Description
At the heart of Haiti's capital city lies a devastating earthquake that shakes the very foundations. Myriam J. A. Chancy masterfully weaves together the lives of those affected by this disaster, revealing the innermost struggles and desires of each individual. From the wealthy expat with a secret daughter to the small-time drug trafficker pining for love, from the architect designing affordable housing to the emigrant musician haunted by his past, each character's story is intricately linked to the others. Brilliantly crafted and fiercely imagined, this book is a haunting record of trauma and a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience. What Storm, What Thunder is a deeply moving portrayal of disaster's impact on those left behind, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be human in the face of unimaginable hardship.
