"Winter Love is startlingly good: an intense, compelling story of illicit desire and heartbreak that's also a fabulous evocation of worn-out wartime life. A blistering, unsettling, darkly romantic read." - SARAH WATERS "This short and intense shock of a book transports us to the dark streets of wartime London to experience the pleasures and pains of forbidden love" - CATHY RENTZENBRINKFrom the moment Red encounters her charismatic new college classmate, Mara, she is drawn in.
