The Rain Before it Falls - Jonathan Coe's heartbreaking novel of
family secrets Deeply moving and compelling, The Rain Before it
Falls is the story of three generations of one family riven by
tragedy. When Rosamund, 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.
Rosamund's story is one of the most extraordinary and compelling
you will ever read. Impossible to put down, I loved every minute of
it' Sunday Express 'A sad, often very moving story of mothers and
