A plea from a friend-which big Indian novel starts with a description of rain

[DarrellRivers]

All over the village, app not The God of small things,although that has rain in the first chapter.

Ruled out
A suitable boy
A fine balance
Midnight's children

Anyother suggestions????

[jkklpu]

it's not Life of Pi, is it?

[DarrellRivers]

Have just read first pages on amazon and no, it seems to be about sloths mainly

[Hullygully]

is it red earth pouring rain (something like that)

[DarrellRivers]

Interestingly a very promising start from the title, but no apparent rain in the first pages

[Romanarama]

The Hungry Tide?

[LaDiDaDi]

Is it White Tiger???

I have that somewhere but I can't find it to check.

[DarrellRivers]

The hungry tide, nor An Equal music, nor Glass Palace

Frustrating isn't it.
I think it's the god of small things, even though she says it isn't

[DarrellRivers]

Amazon US is great for checking the first 7-10 pages
No to White Tiger

[Dandi]

just reading the impressionist - has lots of rain in first chapter

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

The Rains Came by Louis Bromfield. Great book from what I remember.

[JeffVadar]

'The God of Small Things' by Arundhati Roy starts with a description of monsoon rain...

[Maltesesunshine]

It's not The Inheritance of Loss is it? That has something about rains in it but not sure if it's at the beginning.
