«La lluvia antes de caer» is the novel by Jonathan Coe published by Editorial Anagrama S.A. in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
After Rosamond's death, Gill finds cassette tapes recorded for Imogen, a blind young woman she saw only once years before. On the tapes, Rosamond describes twenty photographs and reconstructs the story of three generations of women: desires, guilt, and contradictory affections between mothers and daughters.
The novel was originally published in 2007 under the title The Rain Before It Falls. This Spanish edition, in Anagrama's Compactos collection, appeared in 2015.
Recommended for readers of contemporary and historical fiction interested in family memory and portraits of several generations of women.
Jonathan Coe is an English novelist and writer. His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire. For example, What a Carve Up! (1994) reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name. It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources that was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
