Rain Over Madrid

“Rain Over Madrid” is a collection of four novella-length stories where intense loneliness and desire guide an alienated cast of characters. In “Fatherhood,” a Madrid musician recognizes his inability to communicate with his estranged son. In the claustrophobic “Guile,” a middle-aged woman is weighed down by memories as she cares for her elderly mother. A young woman`s emerging sexuality clashes with her father`s womanizing in “Fidelity.” And, in “Shopping,” a daughter emotionally stunted by the tyranny of her mother recognizes and identifies with the helplessness of an apprehended shoplifter. What isn`t said is as important as what is in these poignant depictions of repression and guilt-each of the four stories illuminates the others.
