Hurricane girl [BOOK] / Marcy Dermansky. 1st ed. New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2022. 229 pages ; 22 cm. Allison Brody is thirty-two and newly arrived on the East Coast after just managing to flee her movie producer boyfriend. She has some money, saved up from years of writing and waitressing, and so she spends it, buying a small house on the beach. But then a Category 3 hurricane makes landfall and scatters her home up and down the shore, leaving Allison adrift. Should she go home from the bar with the strange cameraman and stay in his guest room? Is that a glass vase he smashed on her skull? Can she wipe the blood from her eyes, get in her car, and drive to her mother's? Does she really love the brain surgeon who saved her, or is she just using him for his swimming pool? And is it possible to ever truly heal without seeking some measure of revenge? 20220811. Women Fiction. Wounds and injuries Fiction. Psychic trauma Fiction. Psychological abuse Fiction.
