Review excerpt:
This book is called “Rainy Season” and rain permeates the whole novel, as if the whole story was contained inside the rain – and I loved this. Here’s a picture of Rich, leaning over his balcony as usual:
“He leaned against the rail and smoked and watched the shadowed, glistening city as it slept within the downpour.”
I found the writing lyrical and rhythmic; words repeated making the prose like music. Indeed, I thought at one time, if I had a tune I could sing this book:
“Candlelight shimmered off her black sequin dress like the promise of a million stars.”

Nice to see that Rainy Season struck someone else in the same particular way as it did me. Must be some truth to it. Paul Xylinides
Congratulations on a great review 🙂
Thank you, AB! You’re always so kind. 🙂
“Glistening in the downpour.” Truly it felt like music.
Your review is interesting.
For a bit on the rain, I wrote something here, if you’d wanna give it a go on a short read: https://meetvekaria.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/a-night-on-the-bridge/
I see a movie coming. Thanks for your thoughts.
