A journalist - the autobiographical features are quite deliberate - is trying to find out what happened to Lidia, who disappeared in Luanda in 1992, a point in time when the civil war flared up again with ferocity after rebel leader Jonas Savimbi and his UNITA movement refused to accept defeat in the country's first free and democratic elections.
In his novel Rainy Season, Augualusa returns to the present again, following a journalist who is trying to find out what happened to the Angolan poetess and historian Lidia de Carmo Ferreira. What at first seems like a fictive biogaphy of Ferreira gradually turns out to be a depiction of the devastating history of a country tormented by 30 years of war.
