«The Rain Before It Falls» is the novel by Jonathan Coe, published by Viking in paperback (277 pages, in English).
Rosamund, dying in Shropshire, records the story of Imogen, a blind young woman who appeared in her life years earlier. Through family photographs she tries to make sense of her own history and the generational forces that shaped her. Coe composes a tale about memory, secrets and female bonds in twentieth-century England.
Aimed at readers of contemporary literary fiction, with a particular interest in novels about family memory and twentieth-century England.
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.
