In San Francisco a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots an incipient little whorl on the weather map a developing storm he suspects that he privately dubs Maria. Stewart s novel tracks Maria s progress to and beyond the shores of the United States through the eyes of meteorologists linemen snowplow operators a general a couple of decamping lovebirds and an unlucky owl and the storm surging and ebbing will bring long-needed rain flooded roads deep snows accidents and death. Storm is an epic account of humanity s relationship to and dependence on the natural world.
