Rainy Week

"Rainy Week" by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott is a captivating tale that unfolds during a deliberately planned house party set in the drenching second week of May. For two decades, the hosts, a husband and wife, have curated this event, hand-picking an assortment of guests, including a newly married couple, an artist, and an enigmatic woman, each destined to play a unique part in their elaborate social experiment. With meticulous attention to detail, the hosts assign costumes and roles, setting the stage for an atmosphere thick with anticipation and underlying currents of drama and romance, all played out against the persistent, unavoidable patter of rain.
