The Wind That Lays Waste

A short novel about 4 characters who meet and one day in their lives together. This would make a wonderful, powerful stage play. I loved Leni, who is just over her father and his traveling preacher bit. The sad part is that he really believes everything coming out of his mouth. We get the back stories on all of these characters and they have all been abandoned or separated from a parent.
The climax involves a big storm (literally) and a bit storm of emotions.
It seems ridiculous to give a 3 hour audiobook less than 5 stars, but I grew annoyed with reverend's preaching.
I cannot wait to read more Almada.
