Rumours of Spring: A Girlhood in Kashmir by Farah Bashir

AUTHOR : Farah Bashir                  

GENRE : Fiction

QUICK TAKE:  Rumours of Spring is the unforgettable account of Farah Bashir's adolescence spent in Srinagar in the 1990s. 

SYNOPSIS:

 As Indian troops and militants battle across the cityscape and violence becomes the new normal, a young schoolgirl finds that ordinary tasks - studying for exams, walking to the bus stop, combing her hair, falling asleep - are riddled with anxiety and fear. With haunting simplicity, Farah Bashir captures moments of vitality and resilience from her girlhood amidst the increasing trauma and turmoil of passing years - secretly dancing to pop songs on banned radio stations; writing her first love letter; going to the cinema for the first time - with haunting simplicity. This deeply affecting coming-of-age memoir portrays how territorial conflict surreptitiously affects everyday lives in Kashmir.
