"Welcome to Aloisville, rainiest town in the rainiest state. Population: we don’t recall."

 

Don your rain gear and don't forget your umbrella for NOTHING BUT THE RAIN (2023) by Naomi Salman, a short tale of a drowning town and the people left (or kept) inside. Would you rather forget, or do what you can to survive? What does it mean to survive? 

 

No spoilers in this one!
