Love in Winter

It is six years since the end of the Great War. For Hervey Russell, the years of peace should be bright, her growing literary repute paving the way for membership of London's literary society. But her career is insufficient, and life with an unloving husband makes her long for a new beginning. Her cousin Nicholas, shattered by the war, thinks his life is over, until he meets Hervey.

Storm JAMESON Born in 1891, Jameson became politically engaged during her studies at Leeds and King's College, joining The Eikonoklasts, who were sceptics, unavowed anarchists, dedicated to the unmasking of hypocrites. Jameson published 45 novels and many other works, including the two-volume memoir Journey from the North. As the Second War approached, she became the first female president of International PEN, and was instrumental in the escape of various writers from German-occupied Europe. Jameson died in 1986, and her work has been cited as influential by such modern writers as Jeanette Winterson and Zadie Smith.
