Above the Rain: A Novel (Paperback original)

Miguel and Helena meet at a nursing home in Tarifa, at an age when they believe they have lived it all already.

But after the dramatic suicide of one of the other residents, they decide to undertake the journey of their lives.

Meanwhile, in Malmo, Yasmina lives with the contempt of her mother, who is ashamed of Yasmina because she works for a Swede with a murky reputation and is having an affair with the Deputy Commissioner of the Swedish police.

As Yasmina is drawn deeper into Malmo's criminal underworld and Miguel and Helena approach the end of their trip, a history of violence is revealed that links their seemingly disparate lives.
