Join us for a virtual discussion of "What Storm, What Thunder" by Myriam J.A. Chancy, this year's One Maryland One Book selection. All are welcome!

According to the Maryland Humanities website

"What Storm, What Thunder features a cast of loosely-connected characters in and around Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the country in 2010. Chancy shows us her characters – an NGO architect, a water-bottling executive, a drug trafficker, an immigrant cab driver, and others – in scenes that take place before and after the earthquake, and sometimes even during the event itself. We learn their pasts and plans, all as the deadly earthquake strikes. Written in eloquent, heart-wrenching prose, Chancy captures the reader and shows them a vision of Haiti that is at once heartbreaking and yet hopeful." 

Physical copies will be available at Olney Library. Please call 240-773-9545 during open hours to confirm before coming to the branch.
