Rains All the Time is the first social history of the weather of this notoriously wet region-not just how damp it is, but what it does to the souls of those who have endured, cursed, and worshipped it. David Laskin documents the human response to the weather in the Northwest, from Francis Drake's condemnation-"Vile, thicke and stinking fogges"-to today's inhabitants. He also explores how the damp weather has been a great muse to writers and painters.
