Why the title Sun and rain, Ana Roš explained at the presentation of the Slovenian translation, which was published by the Beletrina publishing house: "I was thinking, what affects our life in the Soča valley more than sun and rain? It means not only what nature gives us, because it needs sun and rain, it redirects itself according to them, but also our emotions, energy and motivation are very much sun and rain."
