Exquisitely written. Closer to poetry than a novel, Rain will continue to haunt me in the coming days. Gunn packs so much into her spare, elegant, lyrical prose. It's a nuanced work, evoking a past that only seems better than today. An endless summer, endless adult parties, cigarettes, cocktails lined up to be consumed into the wee small hours, and two children left largely to their own devices. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, quite a lot. But beyond the banal details of the characters' lives, the achingly beautiful prose makes this a compelling read. Stunning!
