Winter Solstice

Alexandra’s contented life is shattered when she falls in love with female aviator, Iris Young. But hers was only a brittle harmony; underneath were symptoms of heterosexual tyranny and deprivation.

‘WINTER SOLSTICE" is a story unusual both in theme and quality. It is not everyone's dish, but the chances are that the reader who likes it will like it very much indeed. A psychological novel, really deserving a place in that much abused category, it is laid in the slums of a bleak and dirty industrial town in the English Midlands, against a background of Dickensian squalor, with characters of limited and poverty-stricken mentality.’ New York Times
