First published in 1958 After the Rain was described by Angus Wilson as a cataclysmic novel . . . as exciting as any deluge you can hope to find; but if you think deluges are too trivial; John Bowen has a surprise for you: his novel turns out to be satire of the first order.Beginning in the basement of Foyles bookshop in the Charing Cross Road in London and moving to rainmaking in Texas; love in Chew Magna; a camp in the Mendips; a storm at sea; sharks; sunstroke; a giant squid and a fight to the death on a raft; After the Rain is an adventure story that will keep you gripped to the very last page.An exhilarating; brilliantly conceived; sharply intelligent and often-funny story; it is a compassionate and well-imagined fable that makes a serious comment on the human situation and established John Bowen as a novelist of depth and skill; drawing comparisons with George Orwell and William Golding.
