Assiduous research is evident in Alison’s novel, together with the influences of D H Lawrence, Elizabeth Bowen, Olivia Manning, L P Hartley and Mary Wesley. Her story is elegantly constructed, with a plangent dying fall of a twist in the final scene, and richly patinated with the desires and regrets of country-house living. The trouble is Alison’s characters. There are far too many of them, and they all have the same problem – of being out of love with the person that they’re married to, and keen to hook up with someone else. Premi e riconoscimenti
England, 31st August 1939- the world is on the brink of war. As Hitler prepares to invade Poland, thousands of children are evacuated from London to escape the impending Blitz. Torn from her mother, eight-year-old Anna Sands is relocated with other children to a large Yorkshire estate which has been opened up to evacuees by Thomas and Elizabeth Ashton, an enigmatic childless couple. Soon Anna gets drawn into their unravelling relationship, seeing things that are not meant for her eyes - and finding herself part-witness and part-accomplice to a love affair, with unforeseen consequences. A story of love, loss and complicated loyalties, combining a sweeping narrative with subtle psychological observation, The Very Thought of You is a haunting and memorable debut.
