Synopsis
Taking a turn both in substance and style from his political satires, Jonathan Coe has written a lean and melancholic novel about loneliness and loss. After her aunt Rosamond commits suicide, Gill discovers that her entire estate has been left to a mysterious blind girl named Imogen. To learn the mysterious and tragic backstory of her aunt's life, Gill begins to listen to the cassette recordings Rosamond left behind, an audio diary telling the sad story of her life up until the day she died.

Publisher's Note
Ranging from wartime Shropshire to London and Toronto at the turn of the twenty-first century, a moving family saga examines the events and relationships that bind generations of a family, as the elderly Rosamund records her memories of her troubled cousin Beatrix and the tragedy that transformed all of their lives. 40,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"Jonathan Coe's eighth novel is a subtle meditation on reality and the fragility of happiness....Thoughtful, unshowy, and tender, THE RAIN BEFORE IT FALLS explores the difficulty of love and the search for meaning."
(09/01/2007)

"A brief, sad, often very moving story of mothers and daughters, of pain passed on through generations, and of deep and abiding loneliness."
(09/08/2007)
