GUNN, KIRSTY Rain: A Poignant Story of Love, Loss, and the Vulnerability and Resiliency of Children
New York, Grove Press. 1995, Reprint, 2000. (ISBN: 0802134475) Mass Market Paperback , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 95 pp.; 20 cm. AS NEW. "The debut of an astonishing new literary talent, Rain proves that its author, Kirsty Gunn, is already a master of her craft. Written in luminous prose and embroidered with sensuous imagery, Rain is an unforgettable novel. Twelve-year-old Janey and her younger brother, Jim spend summers at a lake with their parents. Ignored for long stretches and then called upon suddenly to mix drinks or receive drunken kisses, the children huddle together in tender, compulsive closeness. Nourished only by their devotion to one another, the two fill their neglected hours exploring the lush, dangerous landscape and protecting each other from the unpredictable moods of the dark adult world that surrounds them. A haunting, beautifully rendered story that explores the hidden dangers of childhood, Rain has established Kirsty Gunn as one of the most promising and original writers of her generation." - Publisher. Fine.
