Once upon a time in Ireland... It is early January 1903 and Professor Alexander Quills, a wise and sad man, is returning to his Oxford home after attending lectures in London; Oliver Saunders, young and shy, meanwhile, is working in his small room at Balliol College, surrounded by dictionaries and gothic novels, and Lionel Lennox, a lover of the good life and light skirts, is in Egypt, about to desecrate the tomb of a princess to steal an invaluable jewel.
The three friends have little in common, except the affection that unites them and an interest in the new sciences that explore the world of the afterlife. Very soon their desire for knowledge will take them to Ireland, a land plagued by legends, where the stones have a story to tell and the sound of the rain is confused with the weeping of women who cared for their loved ones even beyond death.
Heir to Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White, Your Name After the Rain is a mystery and adventure novel that takes us back to the best literature of the 19th century.
