Description - The Rain Before it Falls by Jonathan Coe
Deeply moving and compelling, The Rain Before it Falls is the story of three generations of one family riven by tragedy. When Rosamond, a reluctant bearer of family secrets, dies suddenly, a mystery is left for her niece Gill to unravel. Some photograph albums and tapes point towards a blind girl named Imogen whom no one has seen in twenty years. The search for Imogen and the truth of her inheritance becomes a shocking story of mothers and daughters and of how sadness, like a musical refrain, may haunt us down the years.
'Spectacular, heartbreaking, beautifully written. Rosamond's story is one of the most extraordinary and compelling you will ever read. Impossible to put down, I loved every moment of it.' Sunday Express
'A sad, often very moving story of mothers and daughters.' Guardian
'Entirely compelling . . . the plot will keep you rapt . . . reminiscent of Ian McEwan at his most effective.' New Statesman
