ABOUT THE BOOK
"Scattered Showers: Nine Beautiful Short Stories" by Rainbow Rowell. A heart-warming and engaging collection of stories by an award-winning, best-selling young writer. We’ll focus on two holiday love stories, “If the Fates Allow” and “The Snow Ball.”
"If the Fates Allow" takes place in Omaha, Nebraska, around the pandemic, when a snarky young woman and a sweet young man meet over squabbling family reunions, shared fear of infection and the traditional jello salad. Will they ever reconnect?
"The Snow Ball" also takes place in Omaha (where Rowell was born, bred and lives). Two best friends have different ideas about how to spend the holidays and what their plans might mean for the future.
"“The remarkable Rowell offers readers a generous serving of nine exemplary short stories that are, from the first to the last, romances of a sort… the appeal of these enchanting stories is universal, and their publication provides an occasion for celebration. [...] Best-selling and beloved, Rowell’s writing will entice readers to the library in droves, whatever the weather.”— Booklist
