Thirty-Eight Days of Rain is the latest book by the author Eva Asprakis. Eva was raised in South London by her American mother and Cypriot stepfather, who subsequently adopted her. She now lives in Nicosia with her partner and is the author of two contemporary fiction novels.
“What matters more, your place as a daughter or as a mother?”
Androulla is twenty-four and newly married when she learns that she is infertile. In a bid for Cypriot citizenship, she is undergoing adoption by her stepfather and wondering if she will have to adopt a child one day herself.
As this reality sets in, Androulla’s marriage unravels. Between migration departments and doctors’ appointments, she must question what it means to be from somewhere, what it means to be a woman and, when an impossible choice presents itself, which of those things means the most to her.
Thirty-Eight Days of Rain by Eva Asprakis is a moving read that quickly makes you invested in Androulla’s life.
You feel for her as she gets older and truly comes to terms with her diagnosis.
It’s a book that deals with subjects some will struggle with, but Eva has presented it in a sympathetic and careful way, which highlights what many women have gone through. Her writing and handling of such difficult and nuanced subject matter creates a moving, tender and heart-wrenching read.
