Burning Bright by Helen Dunmore

Nadine, a sixteen-year-old runaway new to London, is set up in a decaying Georgian house by her Finnish lover, Kai. Slowly, she begins to suspect that Kai's plans for her have little to do with love.

A story of terrible innocence..with openings of unexpected love and grace worthy of Graham Greene * The Independent on Sunday *
Burning Bright is a beautifully constructed and thought-provoking novel, with a freshness that makes it outstanding * Sunday Telegraph *
Helen Dunmore beautifully fulfils the highest function of a storyteller - to make you wonder what will happen next...one goes on addressing the problems of evil which Dunmore raises, long after one has finished her electrifying book * Sunday Times *
