«The Rain Before It Falls» is the novel by Jonathan Coe, published by Penguin Books Ltd in paperback (277 pages, in English).
When Rosamond dies, her niece Gill finds photo albums and tapes that point to Imogen, a blind young woman no one has seen in twenty years. Through these images, the novel spans three generations of a family marked by tragedy and the bond between mothers and daughters, with a sadness that persists like a refrain.
Published on 24 April 2008, the work is set in Shropshire, England, and has been classified as contemporary fiction.
A good choice for reading groups and for those seeking British literature about family relationships.
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.
