 hat Thunder</em>&nbsp\;features a cast of loosely-connected characters in 
 and around Port-au-Prince\, Haiti\, in the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude 
 earthquake that struck the country in 2010. Chancy shows us her characters
  &ndash\; an NGO architect\, a water-bottling executive\, a drug trafficke
 r\, an immigrant cab driver\, and others &ndash\; in scenes that take plac
 e before and after the earthquake\, and sometimes even during the event it
 self. We learn their pasts and plans\, all as the deadly earthquake strike
 s. Written in eloquent\, heart-wrenching prose\, Chancy captures the reade
 r and shows them a vision of Haiti that is at once heartbreaking and yet h
 opeful."&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;"><strong><spa
