The Theory Of Clouds

BY STEPHANE AUDEGUY

Brief Description:
Akira Kumo survived the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima. Now he has the world's largest collection of literature on clouds & meteorology, which he hires Virginie Latour to catalog. As they work, he tells her stories of those who devoted their lives to clouds: the English Quaker who first classified clouds, the painter who became obsessed with painting clouds, and the 19th-century amateur meteorologist Richard Abercrombie, a photographer who may have created the only definitive catalog of clouds-but only one copy exists, and it has never been seen. Kumo sends Virginie to London to track down this fabled work, a quest both surprising & wondrous, where love forms & transforms lives.
