Winter Love

Suyin Han • 2022

<p><b>An unheralded queer classic set in wartime London--"Han Suyin's outstanding achievement . . . her finest novel." (Alison Hennegan)</b></p> <p>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, jealousy, and self-doubt that sweep all her previous experiences aside and will leave her changed forever. </p> <p>Set against the rubble and austerity of wartime London--barrage balloons overhead, blackout curtains drawn, cafés eking out tins of powdered egg--Winter Love evokes the exhilaration and the peril of living and loving in a city under siege.</p> <p>First published in 1962, this novella was long overlooked in Han's prolific career. "Probably the best thing she has ever written" (<i>Daily Telegraph</i>), it is also Han Suyin's most unexpected, tender, and stirring work.</p>
