Rain Revolutions

by Bessie Flores Zaldivar

In the midst of a water shortage, a mango vendor weighs her sexual desire for a taxi driver against wanting to bathe first. Protesting an illegal extradition, two like-minded student activists march on Honduras’s U.S. embassy but find themselves drifting apart in more complicated ways. And as flooding and hunger threaten the safety of his family, a father continues to strike against the United Fruit Company. Set against political and environmental turmoil in Honduras over the scope of more than half a century, the stories in Rain Revolutions mark the beginnings of a promising young Honduran writer.
