"Faint Promise of Rain is a gorgeous book, a story that is at once spare and lush, wrenching and restoring. The characters are so fully realized, so keenly nuanced, that they linger with you long after the last page, like the sweet smell of a recent storm."
Bret Anthony Johnston, Director of the Michener Center for Writers, UT Austin
Shortlisted for a William Saroyan International Prize for Writing and a Chaucer Award for Historical Fiction
READ THE BOOK
It is 1554 in the desert of Rajasthan. On a rare night of rain, a little girl, Adhira, is born into a family of Hindu temple dancers just as a new Muslim emperor takes the throne
