"Winter Love is startlingly good: an intense, compelling story of illicit desire and heartbreak that's also a fabulous evocation of worn-out wartime life. A blistering, unsettling, darkly romantic read." - SARAH WATERS "This short and intense shock of a book transports us to the dark streets of wartime London to experience the pleasures and pains of forbidden love" - CATHY RENTZENBRINK From the moment Red encounters her charismatic new college classmate, Mara, she is drawn in. Recently-married Mara is stylish and colourful and has a glamorous ease that lights up wintry Blitz-ridden London. Their friendship soon becomes an illicit but exhilarating affair exploring the enticing obsessive power, and long agonising hold, of love. First published in 1962, Winter Love is an explosive unpredictable love story told in exquisite, intimate prose.
