Publisher's Summary

A black comedy, set in suburbia, about one woman's struggle to be free.

When Winona Dalloway begins her day—in the peaceful early hours before her children, that ‘tiny tornado of little hands and feet', wake up—she doesn't know that by the end of it, everything in her world will have changed.

On the outside, Winona is a seemingly unremarkable young mother: unobtrusive, quietly going about her tasks. But within is a vivid, chaotic self, teeming with voices—a mind both wild and precise.

And meanwhile, a storm is brewing …

'Darkly funny, astute, timely—Thunderhead's protagonist insists on being heard, and we as readers feel compelled to listen. To care. Such a fresh and lovely voice, full of humour, insight, and energy. I loved Winona—and her story.'

SOFIE LAGUNA, AUTHOR OF THE EYE OF THE SHEEP

‘Thunderhead takes the brewing storm of domesticity and cracks it open with incredible vulnerability, generosity, and humour. At once Rachel Cusk, at once Jenny Offill, and altogether entirely Miranda Darling, this powerful, restless, irresistible novel is essential reading.'

LAURA JEAN MCKAY, AUTHOR OF THE ANIMALS IN THAT COUNTRY

Bravo! Terrifying and compelling

Brilliantly observed and written. This book summons all the feels in real time - dark humour, anxiousness, heart pumping, empathy and maternal love.
