«La pioggia prima che cada» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jonathan Coe, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (222 pages, in Italian).
After Rosamond's death in Shropshire, her will reserves a third of the inheritance for Imogen, a blind girl seen only once in 1983. To find her, her relatives listen to tapes recorded by Rosamond while going through a photo album: twenty snapshots that condense her life and reveal bonds and secrets among three generations of women.
Originally published in English as «The Rain Before It Falls» (2007) and translated into Italian by Delfina Vezzoli; part of the «I narratori» collection from Feltrinelli.
For readers of contemporary and historical fiction seeking family stories with queer characters and book club themes.
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.
