A romantic, heart-wrenching tale of love against the odds from the Number One Sunday Times bestselling author.
Dinah Jefferies was born in Malaysia and moved to England at the age of nine. Her idyllic childhood always held a special place in her imagination, and when she began writing novels in her 60s, she was able to return there - first in her fiction and then on annual research trips for each new novel. Dinah Jefferies is the author of novels, The Separation, The Tea Planter's Wife - a Number One Sunday Times bestseller, The Silk Merchant's Daughter, Before the Rains and The Missing Sister. She lives in Gloucestershire.
Packed with colour, history, atmosphere and plenty of twists and
turns, this is a lush, escapist read
*Sunday Express*
Before the Rains is a sizzling, eye-opening page-turner and
confirms Jefferies's reputation as both a master storyteller and an
acute observer of 20th century colonial history.
*Lancashire Post*
Beautifully written and heart-rending
