About the book

A Mirror Made of Rain is a devastating coming-of-age novel about the wounds of inherited trauma.

Noomi Wadia, a bright, quick-tempered young woman with a penchant for getting into trouble, struggles with the fraught relationship she has with her mother. She grows from a lonely, wild-hearted teenager to a troubled adult who finds love but not happiness. Soon, Noomi realizes that her worst fears have come to pass – she is trapped in the same cycle of self-destructiveness as her mother, and she must battle her impulses or risk losing everything.

Naheed Phiroze Patel’s astonishing debut brings alive a world and characters that are complex and breathtakingly real, and portrays with honesty and empathy the darkness that addiction and mental illness cast over a family.
