Father of the Rain by Lily King is a beautifully written, emotionally charged novel exploring the enduring, complicated bonds between fathers and daughters. Set in 1970s America during the turmoil of Nixon’s impeachment, the story centres on Daley Amory, a young woman caught between the opposing worlds of her liberal mother and her charismatic, self-destructive father, Gardiner. As her parents’ marriage crumbles and Gardiner’s behaviour spirals, Daley is forced to navigate a fractured family and a father whose prejudices and failings threaten to define both their lives.
King, acclaimed for her later work Writers & Lovers, delivers a narrative of remarkable tenderness and insight, following Daley into adulthood as she builds a life of her own, only to return when her father hits rock bottom. Faced with the impossible choice between protecting herself or attempting to save the man who’s both her greatest heartbreak and most enduring connection, Daley’s journey is one of forgiveness, resilience, and the tangled complexities of familial loyalty.
Father of the Rain is a moving novel for readers drawn to intimate family dramas and stories of personal redemption.
