Storm

The extraordinarily moving, funny and original new novel from the author of the rapturously acclaimed BLOOM. "You were born raging, Frances Frida Ripley. That's what happens when you're born in a storm." Frances's parents were not prepared for her birth: they had a blanket and an easel and some paint, but not anything useful, like a car or a phone. So it's no wonder Frankie has always had an anger problem. She was born on a BEACH, in a STORM. What Frances was not prepared for was dying in a freak disaster that destroyed her whole town.

Because when you have a storm inside you – sometimes the...
