Sheltering Rain (2002)
A novel by Jojo Moyes

 

"I enjoyed this novel very much... the faded dilapidated glory of Ireland where horses and dogs are of prime importance... I read it from start to finish."
Rosamunde Pilcher


"This is a remarkable first novel, rich and deep and full of wonderfully realised characters. Oh, these women!"
Anne Rivers Siddons


On the night of the 1953 Coronation ceremony, the expatriate community in Hong Kong has gathered for a celebration party, and while they strain their ears to hear the proceedings on a faulty wireless, Joy, a rebellious 21 year-old, falls in love at first sight. She is engaged within twenty-four hours, but then will not see her fiancé again for a year...

Nearly forty years later, Joy is living in a damp-ridden manor house in southern Ireland with her rapidly deteriorating husband, while her estranged daughter and grand-daughter are drifting apart from each other in suburban England. When the three women are finally brought together, a deeply buried family secret is uncovered and some fundamental issues addressed: about the conflict between love and duty, about mothers and daughters, and about women's choices.
