The Rain Before It Falls

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.
