Season of the rain birds is set in a small town in Pakistan as the monsoon season begins. However, sometimes, what the blurb says doesn't meet up with the story within. Led to believe this book was going to be about a murder and the fall out from a bag of letter discovered after 19 years, you will be disappointed. yes they are in the book but they are not the main focus.
This book felt more like a memoir of the authors early childhood. Aslam has brought to life -the daily comings and goings, gossip, the feelings and thoughts, events and society beliefs with some lovely detail. Politics and corruption run through the daily life of this mainly muslim community.
