4 quiet and atmospheric stars to The Rain Watcher! 🌧 🌧 🌧 🌧

The Malegarde family has gathered in Paris to celebrate the birthday of the father of the family. At the same time, a natural disaster is looming, and as it occurs, the family’s hidden secrets are exposed as the rain continues to fall and flood the city.

The voice of the story is Linden Malegarde, a young photographer. What an interesting and astute voice he has. The Malegardes have grown apart over the years, but they are not acknowledging it. Will the family be able to overcome their hurt and fears to ease their walk through immense tragedy?

With themes of love and second chances, de Rosnay’s The Rain Watcher is rife with eloquent and elegant prose that transports you to the streets, sights, sounds, and intimacy of Paris. The Malegarde family is flawed and relatable, and the storyline is an emotional one. When times are at their most hopeless, we need our families to lean on…Will the Malegardes be able to do the same?

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the complimentary ARC. All opinions are my own.
