The Rain Before it Falls by Jonathan Coe

3.0

One of the reviews on the back of this book calls it "a psychological mystery" and describes it as "evoking...suspense and dread". So for starters -- I got none of that from this book. An interesting drama, yes. Telling the story of generations of neglect and abuse as seen from an outside family member who truly loves all those involved, and her attempts to save them from themselves over the years. Well enough told, but not my typical kind of book, and not something I find myself wanting to rave about.
