Please join us as we discuss the 2024 One Maryland One Book, What Storm, What Thunder by Myriam J.A. Chancy.
At the end of a long, sweltering day, as markets and businesses begin to close for the evening, an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude shakes the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. Award-winning author Myriam J.A. Chancy masterfully charts the inner lives of the characters affected by the disaster. Brilliantly crafted, fiercely imagined, and deeply haunting, What Storm, What Thunder is a singular, stunning record. A reckoning of the heartbreaking trauma of disaster, and- at the same time- an unforgettable testimony to the tenacity of the human spirit.
