It really is 1554. Over a rare night of rainwater in the desert of Rajasthan, India, a princess, Adhira, is born to a family group of Hindu temple dancers as a new Mughal emperor takes the throne. Fearing a bleak future, her daddy puts his faith in traditions and in his previous child for every to save lots of the other: He insists Adhira "marry" the temple deity and present herself to a rich patron. But after one horrendous evening, she makes a vibrant choice that bears her family's story and their dance to a startling new beginning. Informed from the point of view of this superb dancer and filled up with the sounds, sights, and flavors of the Indian desert, Faint Assurance of Rainwater is the story of a family group and a woman caught between skill, duty, and fear in a changing world.
