WHAT STORM, WHAT THUNDER
What Storm, What Thunder tells the story of nine people before, during and after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti 2010. In intimate prose, Chancy deftly reveals the inner lives of her characters, drawing the reader into their hopes, dreams and regrets, and recounts how each of them do -- or do not - survive: a wealthy ex-pat executive with a secret daughter; a small-time drug trafficker pining for a beautiful call girl; a Haitian immigrant driving taxi in Boston; a teenage girl longing for the life she sees on tv; a grieving mother haunted by the ghosts
of her children; an escort and her bodyguard who are followed by a man they believe is the voodoo spirit of death; an accountant forced to abandon the wife he loves; a visiting architect planning to rebuild a cathedral; and the old woman selling produce in the market who knows them all.
MYRIAM J. A. CHANCY was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti before relocating during childhood to Quebec City, and then to Winnipeg.
She is the author of The Loneliness of Angels, which won the Guyana Prize in Literature Caribbean Award, and The Spirit of Haiti, which was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book.
