Haunting, incisive . . . King is brilliant. -- Elle An absorbing, insightful story written in cool, polished prose right to the last conflicted line. -- Washington Post Spellbinding . . . You wont be able to stop reading this book, but when you do finally finish the last delicious page and look up, you will see families in a clearer and more forgiving way. -- Vanity Fair When eleven-year-old Daley Amorys mother leaves her father, Daley is thrust into a chaotic adult world of competition, indulgence, and manipulation. Unable to place her allegiance, she gently toes the thickening line between her parents incompatible worlds: the increasingly liberal, socially committed realm of her mother, and the conservative, liquor-soaked life of her father. But without her mother there to keep him in line, Daleys fathers basest impulses and quick rage are unleashed, and Daley finds herself having to choose her own survival over the father she still deeply loves. As she grows into adulthood, Daley retreats from the New England country-club culture that nourished her fathers fears and addictions, and attempts to live outside of his influence. Until he hits rock bottom. Faced with the chance to free her father from sixty years worth of dependency, Daley must decide whether repairing their badly broken relationship is worth the risk of losing not only her professional dreams, but the love of her life, Jonathan, who represents so much of what Daleys father claims to hate, and who has given her so much of what he could never provide. A provocative and masterfully told story of one womans life-long, primal loyalty to her father, Father of the Rain is a spellbinding journey into the emotional complexities, mercurial contours, and magnetic pull of families.
