In his book, No Rain in Andalucia (Andalusia),Robert Vernon strips away the glamour of the Costa

del Sol tourist resorts and reveals the sacrifices which have been demanded

from the Spanish people. This moving Costa del Sol novel chronicles the story of one Andalucian family, beginning with their great hopes, beautiful women and handsome, ambitious young men, and ending with their gradual descent into tragedy and trauma. Through their lives Robert Vernon demonstrates the upheaval which is continuing to threaten Spain, and he writes a novel which will not be easily forgotten. This Andalucia book is a must-read for anyone visiting Andalucia (Andalusia). It is a book about Andalucia (Andalusia) that will captivate anyone who loves this most breathtaking and yet tragic region of Spain.


As one would expect of a Costa del Sol novel, this book takes the reader on a tour of the coast's most glamourous and well-known locales - Puerto Banus, Marbella, etc. Yet the focus of this book is very much Andalucia and the Spanish nature of the region as a whole. Vernon's Andalucia is a place of tragic beauty, and it is against this backdrop that the novel unfolds. Never before has a book about Andalucia captured the inherently tragic nature of Andalucia's predicament - a people forced to relinquish their way of life in the new environment of late-modernity. In a land given over almost entirely to tourism, it falls to the local inhabitants to satisfy the needs of the tourists. In the book, Angelica's sexual submission to her foreign boss provides us with a stark and powerful example of this.


Above all, this is a book about Andalucia.
