Flatlands

"'Beautifully-written, and highly evocative of the remote Lincolnshire landscape, the Second World War and the two people whose loneliness brings them together for a life-changing time... Full of quiet drama and sorrow at loss, cruelty and mortality.' - Amanda Craig 'Compelling and beautifully intimate. A classic piece of storytelling' - Toby Litt 'A haunting and lyrical novel about loneliness and the compensations of the natural world, art and unlikely friendships' - Maggie Brookes 'Precise in its historical detail and admirable in its evocation of the large skies and isolation of its setting, this is a moving study of an unlikely friendship and the healing power of the natural world' - Sunday Times, Best Historical Fiction 'A tender portrait of wartime youth [with] an elegiac, gentle quality, evoking the Wash as ""a place between somewhere and nowhere, one of the last wildernesses in England"". A novel of tender quiet voices, and grace' - Guardian"
