It was also praised by the US Review of Books and acknowledged by Kate Robinson that “the author, a Louisiana native, writes elegantly of the literal and metaphorical storms that batter the generations in this literary family drama. The story opens as protagonist Elise Charleville Steiner dreams of the calm her maternal grandmother, Lala, always displayed, knowing that life had a way of returning to normal after any storm. As the author’s debut novel wends its circuitous path through both ordinary and emotionally fraught family scenes over the next week, a powerful hurricane sweeps across the Caribbean, with landfall predicted near Elise’s community of Bayou Chouteau. It is a study of action and reaction. “
Even though the news confirmed her decision to evacuate, Elise didn’t want to hear any more forecasts, preparations, or predictions. Brad drove through the rain on surprisingly deserted roads, searching for a nice easy-listening channel. The rest of the city, it seems, heeded the warnings long before the Steiners. The children slept as the car drove through the quiet stillness of the calm before the storm, while their parents and grandparents sat silently, looking out at the Louisiana wetlands that bordered the interstate highway.
When a group of paramedics and ambulances passed them while they were traveling alone, Elise felt her skin crawl. She could only imagine how terrified these people must have been, dealing not only with the discomfort and uncertainty of illness but also with their complete reliance on strangers to find a haven for them during the storm. Each of those patients was either someone’s parent, grandparent, brother, or, perhaps worse, their child. She said, “Thank you, God,” once more and then whirled around to face her family as if she needed to make sure everyone was still there.
Life is not always rainbows and cupcakes, as it is not always steady and fun. Some uncertainties need to be faced, such as storms. These calamities can’t be avoided, but the storm itself can make us tougher and braver to face and play through life.
