And meanwhile, a storm is brewing … Darkly funny, astute, timely — Thunderhead’s protagonist insists on being heard, and we as readers feel compelled to listen. To care. Such a fresh and lovely voice, full of humour, insight, and energy. I loved Winona — and her story.’ SOFIE LAGUNA, AUTHOR OF THE EYE OF THE SHEEP ‘Thunderhead takes the brewing storm of domesticity and cracks it open with incredible vulnerability, generosity, and humour. At once Rachel Cusk, at once Jenny Offill, and altogether entirely Miranda Darling, this powerful, restless, irresistible novel is essential reading.’ LAURA JEAN MCKAY, AUTHOR OF THE ANIMALS IN THAT COUNTRY"
