La lluvia inglesa
XL Premio de Novela Felipe Trigo
Muela Pareja, Ana
Leona Anaya survives without work or money, with her home dismantled after her husband left her, when she receives a call from a Cambridge hospital: her father, whom she has not seen for more than eighteen years, has suffered a stroke and her death is imminent. Leona does not hesitate for a moment and she catches the first flight to London; she wants to see that man die who has caused her so much suffering. The situation of her father, however, is stabilizing as the days go by, and she Leona sees an even better opportunity before her: now that she cannot defend herself against it, it is time for her revenge. Installed in her house to take care of him, she dedicates herself to tormenting her father with a thousand details, evoking the memories of a childhood full of violence and cruelty, the pain of her mother, the tragic death of her brother. . Such is the starting situation of this novel in which Ana Muela Pareja combines intrigue, an impeccable psychological portrait and an absorbing plot, marked by unsuspected turns, in which other characters from Leona's new life participate with whom she protagonist maintains encounters and disagreements. The English rain speaks of old wounds, never overcome, that are added to those of a present that does not give up: deceptions and losses, but also discoveries, unforeseen gains and an end where the seed of hope grows.
