The Night, and the Rain, and the River: 22 Stories

by Liz Prato

Twenty-two interconnected stories exploring the hidden lives of Pacific Northwest residents, where landscape and loneliness intertwine. Prato's characters navigate grief, desire, and the search for connection in a region defined by rain and rivers. Her prose is spare and luminous, finding beauty in the ordinary struggles of people trying to make sense of their lives.
