Weather Patterns
Mayfair is a small, isolated rural town where nothing is quite as it seems, and that peculiarity is heightened by the extended drought affecting everyone in some way. A collection of short stories, each chapter offers a glimpse into the inner worlds of the residents, not all of whom are as they appear to be. Life is changed forever for many of the citizens of Mayfair by the time the drought finally breaks, allowing them to come to terms with who they are and who they can be. Reminiscent of the presentation in Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Weather Patterns explores what it means to be as human as one can be.

Beautifully written! The author paints a vivid picture of a drought stricken time and place with characters that you won't forget. I'm invested and I long to know what happens next in the lives of the folks of Mayfair.

I enjoyed most of these stories very much. Some of the stories were haunting... well just about all of them had a mysterious, haunting tone. My favorite story was Dayspring, about a man who could see the true colors of peoples' souls. I want to read it all again because this novel is presented as a collection of short stories within one drought-season in the same town. Well, I read these stories on their own, but several of the character's appear here and there through the other tales. I didn't connect the people, though. I feel like this certainly deserves a re-read. In any case, Weather Patterns is a very enjoyable collection to add to any library.

Sometimes I plow through books, but this one I savored. Mayfair is a small, rural town affected by drought in many ways. This has affected the lives of its residents in different ways, and I enjoyed the dynamic each character brought to the greater drama of Mayfair. Nicholas didn't shy away from the unsavory details that shape these characters, and in doing so really brought these short stories to life.
