‘A gorgeous, accomplished debut’ David Mitchell By internationally bestselling author Bret Anthony Johnston, WINNER of the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award 2017.In Corpus Christi, Texas – a town often hit by hurricanes – parents, children, and lovers come together and fall apart, bonded and battered by memories of loss that they feel as acutely as physical pain.A car accident joins strangers linked by an intimate knowledge of madness. A teenage boy remembers his father’s act of sudden and self-righteous violence. A ‘hurricane party’ reunites a couple whom tragedy parted. And, in an unforgettable three-story cycle, an illness heals a man’s relationship with his mother and reveals the odd, shifting fidelity of truth to love.Writing with tough humor, deep humanity, and a keen eye for the natural environment, Bret Anthony Johnston creates a world where cataclysmic events cut people loose from their ‘regular lives, floating and spiraling away from where we had been the day before.’
