Thunder Showers

About this book

Behind the appearance of an ideal life lie coercion, injustice, and the injuries that people inflict on one another. Laila Nazmi moves between the aftermath of a devastating disaster and the private conflicts unfolding in psychological clinics, where those seeking help are often the victims of someone else's illness. Each character becomes a thunder shower capable of destroying a life or strengthening its roots, and the novel asks whether revenge can heal, whether the wounded can also wound, and how a broken person might still find a path back to hope.
