Rumours of Spring: A Girlhood in Kashmir by Farah Bashir
4.0
While the event anchoring the book is the death of the author's grandmother, it is centered around 'her home- a monument of memories'. The skipping from a story to another might seem chaotic and unsettling but that feeling complements the narrative superbly.
The simple language married with chaotic structure does justice to the author's potrayal of coming of age in a conflict stricken Kashmir. It delivers to the readers almost an other world experience leaving one to wonder, is this the same country that they grew up in and they live in?
