Keen to escape his remote mountain home in Snowdonia and the constraints of his father's chapel, he sees the war as an opportunity. He returns shell shocked and traumatised from the war, and unable to settle, he escapes again, this time to bohemian London where he makes friends with an arty bohemian set, and is unwittingly drawn into the underbelly of London through his boss Freddy Fixit who does more than put up buildings. He becomes enthralled with the unobtainable and enigmatic Rose, and involved with the obsessive and destructive Dolores.

This is an intimate novel, told in the first person, of a young, spirited girl. It is set against a vast backdrop of the upheaval and tragedy of an African war, in which a girl battles to make sense of her life during the complexities of her time. The novel has universal appeal with its themes of land, loss, longing and redemption and the ability of the human spirit to overcome great odds. After the Rains is narrated in the first person by Jayne. She tells the story of her experience of the war, and how it shapes her as an individual as she struggles to come to terms with its impact on her and her family. The novel seeks to look at both 'sides'. Does the land belong to black or white Zimbabweans or both? Who is to blame for the atrocities that occurred during the war? This is a powerful, gripping read that is ultimately redemptive for Jayne, written by an author whose own early life was affected by similar themes.  Emily Barroso has been compared to writers such as Alexandra Fuller (Don't Let's Go To the Dogs Tonight).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51312404594961,"sku":"GOR012991012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51313301291281,"sku":"GOR005166028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184876684X.jpg?v=1751281397"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-emily-barroso.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
