The Girl with the Purple Umbrella

“Written in a series of snapshot, near stop-motion prose, Meri Tumanyan’s The Girl with the Purple Umbrella follows a mother and daughter on an ordinary rainy day. As the daughter explores and the mother rediscovers myriad wonders ubiquitous to a winter day, the book comments on love, relationships, and fleeting time that makes the here and now so precious.”
