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.

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

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

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

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

Is it White Tiger???

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

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

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