| book description |

At once a hilarious social commentary and an insightful, sophisticated modern romance, A Big Storm Knocked It Over stands as a living tribute to one of contemporary fiction's most original and beloved voices. In her late thirties, book designer Jane Louise Parker has just married a man whose native decency leaves her almost breathless at her good fortune. After the wedding, she returns to work at a small publishing house whose finances are in disarray. But Jane Louise still has difficulty thinking of herself as a grown-up. Alongside her best friend, Edie, Jane Louise patiently waits to become pregnant, wondering if a baby will provide a sense of rootedness that still seems to elude her. And when that longed-for child arrives, it transforms the Parkers' lives in a way that is as unexpected as it is rapturous. A novel about trying to find a place in the world from the ultimate chronicler of the human heart, A Big Storm Knocked it Over offers a comic love story for overthinkers. A W&N Essential
