Six years after the Great War, a promising writer--Hervey Russell--is frustrated by her career and her marriage to an unloving man. Her desperate longing for a new beginning finds an outlet when she encounters her war-damaged cousin Nicholas, who until this meeting has thought his life was over. Love in Winter forms the second part of the Mirror in Darkness trilogy, and its heroine is the author's autobiographical shadow. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The writing itself is strangely compelling, it is at times intensely emotional or detached, detailed and realistic, or stream of consciousness . Some of her female characters are just awful. Despicable.
For a while I found the novel such a unique work, not all that appealing. But I kept going and it drew me in more as I read on. It seems such a personal and real story, and it is based on the authors life so eventually I accepted what she writes. It is a fascinating glimpse into life in the Twenties, particularly for well brought up women and their relationships. Hervey is so intent on being kind and doing good, as are other characters. It seems unreal today.
The novel is book two in the trilogy Mirror in Darkness. I would love to read Company Parade, book one. From what I can tell it deals with the more immediate aftermath of WW1. I think it has different main characters, who appear briefly in book two. ( )
