Flatlands
ONE (Verlag)
978-1-911590-74-3 (ISBN)
'Beautifully-written, and highly evocative of the remote Lincolnshire landscape, the Second World War and the two people whose loneliness brings them together for a life-changing time... Full of quiet drama and sorrow at loss, cruelty and mortality' Amanda Craig
'Compelling and beautifully intimate. A classic piece of storytelling' Toby Litt
'A haunting and lyrical novel' Maggie Brookes, author of The Prisoner's Wife
In the depths of wartime, a friendship takes wing
Freda is a twelve-year-old evacuee from the East End, sent to live with a farming family deep in the lonely landscape of the Fens.
Philip is an artist and a conscientious objector, living in a remote lighthouse on the shores of the Wash.
The two outcasts come together amid the wild beauty of the wetlands, beneath skies filled with migrating birds and crisscrossed by Nazi bombers. As the world is consumed by war, they form a friendship that will change the course of both their lives.
Sue Hubbard is an award-winning poet, novelist and freelance art critic. She has published three acclaimed novels and numerous collections of poetry, and was commissioned to create London's largest public art poem at Waterloo. Flatlands was loosely inspired by Paul Gallico's classsic wartime novella The Snow Goose.
