Reviews

“Averbach unspools her story with dark humor and a mounting sense of calamity. Her prose is measured yet vigorous, capturing the chagrin Deena feels with each new humiliation... Averbach approaches Deena’s problems with restraint and seriousness and has things to say about materialism and self-exploration... an organic and quite captivating plot. A finely drawn story of a woman losing everything and finding herself.”

“A deftly crafted novel by an author with an engaging narrative storytelling style — extraordinary and unique— highly recommended, especially for contemporary literary fiction collections. ‘Resurrecting Rain’ is one of those novels that linger in the mind of the reader long after the book itself has been set back upon the shelf.”

“Averbach is definitely a writer whose work I’ll be reading more of, and Resurrecting Rain is a novel I’m recommending to every woman I know.”
