Paperback. Zustand: Good. 356 pages. Text lightly tanned It's early summer when a young poet, Dora Fielding, moves to Helensburgh on t he west coast of Scotland and her hopes are first challenged. Newly married, pre gnant, she's excited by the prospect of a life that combines family and creativi ty. She thinks she knows what bei…ng a person, a wife, a mother, means. She is so on shown that she is wrong. As the battle begins for her very sense of self, Dor a comes to find the realities of small town life suffocating, and, eventually, t errifying; until she finds a way to escape reality altogether. et, she discovers, lived in Helensburgh once. Wystan H. Auden, brilliant and awk ward at 24, with his first book of poetry published, should be embarking on succ ess and society in London. Instead, in 1930, fleeing a broken engagement, he tak es a teaching post at Larchfield School for boys where he is mocked for his Engl ishness and suspected - rightly - of homosexuality. Yet in this repressed limbo Wystan will fall in love for the first time, even as he fights his deepest fears . find each other and make a reality of their own that will save them both. Echoi ng the depths of Possession, the elegance of The Stranger's Child and the ingenu ity of Longbourn, Larchfield is a beautiful and haunting novel about heroism - t he unusual bravery that allows unusual people to go on living; to transcend bana lity and suffering with the power of their imagination.
