«La lluvia antes de caer» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jonathan Coe, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
After Rosamond's death, her niece Gill finds cassette tapes recorded for Imogen, a young woman she barely knew. In them, Rosamond describes twenty photographs and reconstructs the story of three generations of women bound by desire, guilt, and the ambivalence of their affections, from the 1940s to the present.
The novel belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 729), translated by Javier Lacruz, with the original title The Rain Before It Falls.
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.
