Online: World Lit Now! - What Storm What Thunder

This month's title is What Storm, What Thunder by Myriam J.A. Chancy.

In Haiti an array of characters struggle to reassemble their lives in sweeping, interconnected stories after a 7.0 earthquake devastates Port-au-Prince. 

More: The  characters include Richard, a wealthy water-bottling executive; Anne, an architect who drafts affordable housing structures; Leopold, a small-time drug trafficker; Sonia followed by a man she believes is the vodou spirit of death; Didier, an emigrant musician; Sara, a mother haunted by the ghosts of her children; and Ma Lou, an old woman from the market who remembers them all.
