A propos de cet article

Paperback. 'A stirring, magical, and emotional novel about family, belonging, marriage, race, and culture . The best novels are never long enough, and you won't want After the Rain to end' The Australian'A staggering soulful achievement' The Australian Women's WeeklyMalti Fortune is uneasy. She has turned away from her birthplace of Fiji to make a new life in Melbourne. But all that she thought was certain is now in danger of being swept away. Her husband, Benjamin, a linguist, is a conundrum. He has changed. Or has she? The stories and superstitions of her childhood are telling her something she knows but doesn't want to hear - about being a trespasser, about not belonging.In the years to come, Malti and Benjamin's daughters are also to learn some hard truths. For Ellery, the hands-on father of her memories vanishes for months on end and the remembered fragments of good times aren't enough to sustain her anymore. Verona, on the verge of adulthood, can't imagine a world without her beloved Dad. He is her rock and hero. But Malti and Ellery both know that you can't depend on Benjamin.What makes a family? What does home look like? All three women are seeking answers. Each is haunted by her own ghosts. And by Benjamin.
