The outwardly comfortable life of mother and wife .Winina Dalloway has dark currents running beneath it. Thunderhead is the interior monologue of a woman acting normally but living under threat as she picks up her children from school, shops and prepares for a dinner party. A homage to Virginia Wolfe’s The Days, the book is a reminder of the drama and terror that can lurk beneath domesticity.
