Description:The raw account of a life-altering affair in wartime London—“Han
Suyin’s outstanding achievement . . . her finest novel.” (Alison
Hennegan)
As a college student in London during the bitterly
cold winter of 1944, Red falls in love with her married classmate Mara.
Their affair unleashes a physical passion, a jealousy, and a sense of
self-doubt that sweep all her previous experiences aside and will leave
her changed forever. Set against the rubble of the bombed city, in a
time of gray austerity and deprivation, Winter Love recalls a life at its most vivid. “Probably the best thing she has ever written” (Daily Telegraph), it is also Han Suyin’s most unexpected, tender, and stirring work.
