Unleaving by Jill Paton Walsh
At the age of 17 Madge inherits her grandmother's house in Cornwall and is persuaded to let it to a university reading group. She finds their company both confusing and exhilarating - in particular that of the moody Patrick. The author is a winner of the Whitbread Award.Jill Paton Walsh (1937-2020) was an award-winning author of many books for children, young adults, and adults including The Green Book, A Parcel of Patterns, the Booker Prize shortlisted Knowledge of Angels, and the Whitbread Prize winner The Emperor's Winding Sheet. She completed Dorothy L.

Dorothy L. Sayers (1983-1957), the greatest of the golden age detective novelists, was one of the first women to be awarded a degree by Oxford University. Her aristocratic detective, Lord Peter Wimsey, became one of the most popular fictional heroes of the twentieth century, but she considered her translation of Dante's Divine Comedy to be her best work.| SKU | Unavailable |
