A beautiful story of adoption and finding your past. This wonderful story of coming to terms with what happened upon discovery.

I really enjoyed The Promise of Rain, Anna is an engaging character I felt connected to her and wanted her to find out her heritage. Anna's father Mathew was a foundling, and adopted in Zimbabwe but has never spoken about his past. Anna feels that part of her is missing not knowing her Indian roots so she is determined to investigate her father's biological parents on their trip to Zimbabwe.

The locations are beautifully depicted and I was drawn in to the mystery. A captivating read

The Promise of Rain , is the lead Anna's search for her roots as her father was adopted as a new born.

There is a desperate urgency to the lead character which at times especially in the end felt like a rebellion without t much cause behind it. Overall I liked the story though wished the lead Anna was written better.

I enjoyed the author's first book very much and liked the setting that of Zimbabwe and India in the second half of 1900's. The setting in this story is very appealing too, for me, it is London, Zimbabwe and India.

The Promise of Rain by Vasundra Tailor was such a good story.
I literally couldn’t stop once I started.
The writing is captivating and Tailor just sucks you in with her words.
Tailor weaves and tells a tale in such a beautiful way.
The writer definitely has a way with words and I was utterly mesmerized.
The Promise of Rain is a story that will keep you intrigued until you turn the very last page.
