_______

Laura, a laundress, meets her young husband when they are both placed in service in Teignmouth in 1914. They have a baby, Charles, but his father returns home from the trenches a damaged man, already ill with the tuberculosis that will soon leave Laura a widow.

As a new war looms, Charles signs up for the navy as a coder. His escape from the tight, gossipy confines of Launceston to a more colourful life in action sees him blossom, as he experiences the possibility of death, and the excitement - even terror - of a love that is as clandestine as his work.

''A wonderful novel - a touching, utterly convincing portrait of the nascent artist'' Mail on Sunday

''A deeply moving novel. The portrait of a complex relationship that constricted as much as it sustained is brilliantly done'' The Tablet
