โฆ Synopsis
"A fast-paced, stirring narrative about loss and unrequited love" set amid a destructive cicada swarm in West Virginia (Publishers Weekly).
In a West Virginian town, a brood of Magicicadas emerges for the first time in seventeen years. The cicadas damage crops and trees, and swarm locals. Jessica, a former cop whose entire family was killed in a car crash two years earlier, is deputized during the crisis.
At the same time, she is dealing with her feelings for her sister's best friend, Natasha, a town council member--and the two-year anniversary of the car crash that killed her family is approaching. As all this descends, a sudden, devastating loss will change everything . . .
"A bright, raw, original new voice in American fiction. Her prose is electric. And Summer of the Cicadas was a novel I couldn't put down." --Thomas Christopher Greene, author of The Perfect Liar
