The Sea House by Esther Freud
The architect Klaus Lehmann loves his wife, Elsa, with a passion that continues throughout their married life, despite long periods of separation. Almost half a century after Lehmann's death in the village of Steerborough, a young woman, Lily, arrives to research his life and work. Poring over Klaus's letters to Elsa, Lily pieces together the story of their lives. And alone in her rented cottage by the sea, she begins to sense an absence in her own life that may not be filled by simply going home.
Esther Freud trained as an actress before writing her first novel, Hideous Kinky, which was subsequently adapted into a film starring Kate Winslet.

Her other novels include The Sea House, Lucky Break and Mr Mac and Me, and most recently, I Couldn't Love You More. Her first full length play, Stitchers, was produced in 2018. Esther is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
