Does Nature Discrimate the Downtrodden?
I watch the villagers come out when the weather gets cool in the evenings, looking up with eager eyes for signs of rain, praying that their crops are safe and don’t wither under the persistent scorching sun.
Seeds dying even before they sprout are as common as the dust-filled roads that mar the paths they tread upon. Their animals, bared of flesh, are constantly in their minds. Their bony form requires nourishment and water so that they can turn the soils of the land and be a source of staples.
Can Yearning Hearts Be Pacified With A Touch of Beauty Instead?
But when has beauty been enough to feed a body and soul? Not even the constellation can dazzle so as to silence an hungered heart.
Sparse rain in areas of the poor reek of discrimination even by nature.
“The dry winds blew dust, while the unbearable heat parched our throats and body. The sweat that dripped from our bodies was as sparse as the water that we drank each time we couldn’t stand the heat.”
Another Epic Story from the author of Amazon’s No.1 best-seller under Kindle’s New Releases, The Goddess of the Himavan.
Praise for this book
As someone who enjoys thought-provoking literature, I was immediately drawn to "Where the Rain Falls." This beautifully written novel does an excellent job of immersing the reader in the struggles of poverty and scarcity, while at the same time offering a message of resilience and hope.
The characters are well-developed and easy to relate to, and I found myself rooting for them throughout the book.
One of the things that I appreciated most about "Where the Rain Falls" was its relevance to the current climate crisis. The book raises important questions about the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities, and the ways in which we can work together to address these issues.
Overall, I found this book to be a captivating and heartwarming tale of resilience and hope. It is highly imaginative and thought-provoking, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in exploring themes of compassion, resilience, and hope in the face of adversity.
This book was recommended and I was not sure what to expect.
But I read it in just two sittings and loved it, the writing was warm and engaging, I suffered along with the family during the drought and celebrated with them when the rains finally came!
A book to really make you think.
Where the Rain Falls is quite relevant given the times we live in. It's well known that one way the climate crisis is and will continue to impact us is through more frequent droughts. This is a story of a place with little water and a family who's impacted by the lack of water. Here's a passage from the story that will give readers a feel for the writing style and the content:
My father died when my brother was born. He died of something called desiccation. That’s what the doctor said. It was waterlessness in a body. Father’s body was only skin and bones he had declared when pronouncing him dead. I was six then, and I know I felt afraid of being consumed by “desiccation” ever since. It was a scary word, sounding even more frightening when you say it out loud. In rural places, villagers often ply tedious routes to catch untapped water. They carry home vessel after vessel containing the essential component for everyday use. I never could understand why the distance. Why the need to live in a desert land and trudge each day to where the water flows?
For those interested in literary fiction focused on the environment.
Where the Rain Falls is a heartfelt, intense and dramatic story...filled with relatable characters and love for family. Where the Rain Falls tells a tall tale of family bond, love and resilience under nature's unpredictability. Truly a heartfelt, compassionate tale!
