Reviews
Small Rain reads like the work of a born novelistFinancial Times
A welcome call to action – to pause and think about how art, almost alone, has the capacity to revise and renewTLS
A novel of blazing universality and grace.New York Magazine
Small Rain is a marvelous novel: exceptionally vivid, real, and true. Garth Greenwell’s sensibility is rich and generous – the narrator's memories are haunting, and his experiences of both illness and love are deeply affecting. You are in the room with him. This is a true achievement, written with engaged humanity and a great command of style.Colm Tóibín, author of Long Island
