Title: A Haunting Story
Review: The Yellow Rain is a brief novel, the recollections of an elderly man slowly dying in an abandoned village in the Spanish countryside. He imagines his own demise and tells us about it, as he imagines that the village itself is haunted by the ghosts of those who have gone before him. He, like many others he tells us about, has slowly lost his mind, the solitude has gotten to him. Llamazares' novel is eerily entertaining, moody, evocative, with a touch of the gothic. It is an enjoyable brief read.
