From National Book Award finalist, Janet Peery, comes this "powerful, haunting, and beautifully written" (Tucson Citizen) collection of linked stories set against the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Etta and Mackie Spoon are sisters growing up on an Oklahoma farm. Etta is rebellious and mercurial, Mackie, shy and overshadowed by her sister, but both carry the weight of dark family secrets. When tragedy strikes, they set out on their own, in search of something greater, something beyond the pallid and brutal landscape they know.
Vivid and, at times, devastating, What the Thunder Said is the long-awaited third work of fiction by one of our most acclaimed novelists and storytellers.
