From the author of Tulip Fever which sold over 200000 copies and iscurrently being made into a film this is a tantalising domestic and sexystory of war meat and desire on the home front during WWI. Set in SouthLondons dark and dirty wartime streets it has appeal for fans of BerylBainbridge and Sarah Waters. From the first perfect sentence this novel is agem. Its pared sentences and vocabulary really capture the time. EveningStandard «
