Ever since her teens, Melissa had been in one relationship or another until, in the wake of a disastrous break-up, she vowed to a period of celibacy. She had no idea that this year would become the most fulfilling and sensual of her life.

The Dry Season is a memoir of Melissa's year of celibacy, and a profound exploration of independence, sexuality and deep self-knowledge.
