Hypnotic, passionate, ominous and tender -- The Rain Watcher is unforgettable." -- Jenna Blum, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family"A ceaseless rain, a brother, a sister, a birthday, a tree -- seemingly ordinary things. But Tatiana de Rosnay's expert storytelling proves that within life's ordinary is the power for extraordinary change. A bonfire begins with a spark. A flood with a single drop. In similar fashion, The Rain Watcher will leave you spellbound, transformed, and swept away." -- Sarah McCoy, New York Times and international bestselling author of The Mapmaker's Children
