MONSOON MEMORIES
Book ID/图书代码： 08090013B62386
English Summary/英文概要： “English rain smelt and tasted of nothing at all. It had none of the fury, the passion of the monsoons. Instead, it was weak; half-hearted.”
Exiled from her family in India for more than a decade, Shirin and her husband lead a comfortable but empty life in London.
Memories of her childhood – exotic fragrances, colours, stifling heat and tropical storms – fill Shirin with a familiar and growing ache for the land and the people that she loves.
With the recollections though, come dark clouds of scandal and secrets. Secrets that forced her to flee her old life and keep her from ever returning.
Thousands of miles away, in Bangalore, the daughter of Shirin’s brother discovers a lost, forgotten photograph. One that has escaped the flames.
Determined to solve the mystery of an aunt she never knew, Reena’s efforts will set in place a chain of events that expose the painful trauma of the past and irrevocably change the path of the future.
An unforgettable journey through a mesmerizing, passionate land of contrasts – and a family whose story will touch your heart.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “英国的雨无色无味，没有季风的狂躁与热情。相反，它软绵绵的，像是很随意地下着。”
希林与丈夫十几年前离开印度，离开家人，流离到英国，在伦敦过着安逸却空洞的生活。
但萦绕在希林心头童年的记忆，异国风味的香料，色彩，闷热的气候，热带的风暴，都使得希林对印度那片土地，那片土地上的亲人思念异常，魂牵梦萦。
但是随着记忆席卷而来的还有过往的丑闻和秘密，这些秘密迫使希林离开了自己原先的生活，并再也无法回归。
而在几千里以外的班加罗尔，希林的侄女发现了一张在火灾中被保留下来的老照片，她决心要找到这位素未谋面的姑姑。但里娜的努力揭开了过往的悲痛，不可挽回地改变了未来。
在这片神秘热情的土地上，这个家庭的故事会触及读者柔软的心脏。（XAT）

About the Author/作者介绍： 瑞丽塔•德•席尔瓦出生在风景如画的印度海滨城市，班加罗尔，现在她与丈夫和孩子住在伦敦。在《季风的记忆》中，瑞丽塔想把印度小说的良好传统和像作家乔迪•皮考特和戴安娜•张伯伦充满情感的叙事方式结合在一起。我们认为她在这方面做到了极致。
Renita D’Silva was born in a picturesque Indian coastal town near Bangalore and now lives with her husband and children just outside of London. With Monsoon Memories Renita’s aim was to combine the great tradition of Indian literary fiction with the emotional story-telling of authors like Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain. We think that she has achieved that to perfection.
