Rain is an "exquisitely written first novel.... [Gunn's] language is pitch-perfect; on almost every page, she expresses familiar feelings in ways that are unsentimental and entirely original."
The New York Times Book Review
"Small masterpieces do not usually come as readable as this." -Fay Weldon
"What impresses most is Gunn's sure evocation of the way children feel and think.... Partly because of this finely modulated tone and partly because this book is about loss and haunted by waters, Rain is reminiscent of Norman Maclean's classic A River Runs Through It." -The Guardian
"Taut, beautifully written; a fresh look at the volatile world of childhood." -Edna O'Brien
"It's a beauty.... Gunn tells a story that's very sad and simple, though her methods are not unsophisticated. The confidence with which she interweaves the twelve-year-old Janey's perceptions with those of Janey the fully mature narrator; the expert modulation of a lush, lyrical voice; the precise use of physical detail to suggest psychological states-these are signs of a talent built to last." -Mirabella
