Blurb:
Deeply moving and compelling, The Rain Before It Falls is the story of three generations of one family riven by tragedy. When Rosamond, 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.

Wishlist surprise!

Hurrah! What a great treat to find this wishlist book in my mail box. Thank you so much ApoloniaX

I enjoyed reading this book, which explains through the description of 19 photos taken over 70 years how a family connects together and the choices people made which led to Imogen's life.

The ending was a little naff, and some of the lesser characters stereotypical. However great to see how social norms changed, and people came in and out of each other's life.

This was passed to -tui- during a visit, who read it and enjoyed it.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Found this book where it was left at the foot of the statue of Seddon in front of the Parliament Buidling. Look forward to reading and releasing it!

Thoroughly enjoyed that book. Who will be next?
