A very interesting novella about a world in which it doesn't rain outside any more. Instead.. rain is inside. Not always, some people are still safe, but who knows your house may be next. It is a story also about loss (her brother died and they lost the house) and friendship, about mourning, and about a very strange but also strangely beautiful world. I would love to know more about this. Is there a reason why rain stopped being outside? Why is everyone so into gods in this world? Are they trying to fix the storms happening inside? I also love that the title came back in the story. Wow, that is one way.. but it was a bit disturbing as well.

But this is the way the world is: all the storms have moved inside.

Haunting.
