Zennor in Darkness by Helen Dunmore
It is May 1917: war overshadows the haunting beauty of spring in Zennor. As U-boats nose the Cornish coastline, the village is alive with talk of spies. It is a world of call-up and telegrams, secrets and suspicion, and no one is immune. Not D. H. Lawrence and his German wife Frieda, who have retreated from London to a cottage in Zennor. Not Clare Coyne, a young girl who comes under the influence of the Lawrences, nor her beloved cousin John William, who is home on leave from the trenches, shell-shocked. "A beautiful and inspired novel" - John Le Carre.
Helen Dunmore is an award winning poet and novelist, children's novelist and short-story writer. BURNING BRIGHT (1994); A SPELL OF WINTER (winner of the Orange Prize 1995); TALKING TO THE DEAD (1996); LOVE OF FAT MEN (1997) are all published by Viking. She lives in Bristol with her husband and children.
