Rumours of Spring (paperback)

Bag om Rumours of Spring (paperback)

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