From the dust jacket: "Frater followed the Indian monsoon... along its unpredictable course through the country: from the 'burst' on the beaches of the tropical city of Trivandrum [through Delhi to Calcutta, across Bangladesh, and finally to the town of Cheerapunji]... With great insight and wit, Frater vividly renders his own experience of the monsoon, deftly weaving together fact, impression and anecdote... Alexander Frater -- chief travel writer for the LONDON OBSERVER -- spent the first six years of his life on a South Pacific island where rain seemed to have 'metallic weight and mass' and hurricanes gave seasonal 'bravura climactic performances.' His father -- the only doctor in a thousand square miles of scattered islands -- had a proprietary interest in the weather and taught Frater to understand and utterly enjoy the volatile play of the elements.".
