A poignant [and] powerful novel about a 1920s Midwestern community in the aftermath of a devastating tornado (The New Yorker).In March 1925, the worst tornado in the nations history will descend without warning on the small town of Marah, Illinois. By nightfall, hundreds will be homeless and hundreds more will lie in the streets, dead or grievously injured. Only one man, Paul Graves, will still have everything he started the day withhis family, his home, and his business, all miraculously intact.This absolutely gorgeous novel follows Paul Graves and his young family in the year after the storm as they struggle to comprehend their own fate and that of their devastated town (The New York Times). They watch helplessly as Marah tries to resurrect itself from the ruins and as their friends and neighbors begin to wonder how one family, and only one, could be exempt from terrible misfortune. As the town begins to recover, the family miscalculates the growing resentment and hostility around them with tragic results, in an extraordinarily moving portrayal of survivors guilt and the frenzy of bereavement following a disaster (Financial Times).All the big themes are herechance, fate, loyalty, revenge, guilt, jealousy . . . Inspired by actual events surrounding the 1925 TriState tornado, the worst in U.S. history, Southwoods poignantly penetrating examination of the psychic cost of survival is breathtaking in its depth of understanding.Booklist (starred review)Whats most exciting about Southwoods debut is her prose, which is reminiscent of Willa Cathers in its ability to condense the large, ineffable melancholy of the plains into razorsharp images.The Daily Beast
