Title : The Monsoon - Louis Bromfield - book
Summary :
That year, in Ranchipur, a semi-independent state in British India, the monsoon had been delayed. Everyone anxiously awaited the arrival of the rains, those abundant, torrential, vital downpours. Finally, they arrived! But, in living memory, no one had seen such heavy, such extravagant rains in Ranchipur. And it was horrific: an earthquake, a burst dam, and the waters of the river, swollen by the monsoon rains, destroyed most of the houses and drowned half of those who had survived the earthquake. Cholera broke out. This catastrophe would be the touchstone by which the characters of the survivors of Ranchipur, whether from the English colony or Hindus, would be revealed and measured.
