Notă biografică
Helen Dunmore was an award-winning novelist, children¿s author and poet who will be remembered for the depth and breadth of her fiction. Rich and intricate, yet narrated with a deceptive simplicity that made all of her work accessible and heartfelt, her writing stood out for the fluidity and lyricism of her prose, and her extraordinary ability to capture the presence of the past.
Her first novel, Zennor in Darkness, explored the events which led D. H. Lawrence to be expelled from Cornwall on suspicion of spying, and won the McKitterick Prize. Her third novel, A Spell of Winter, won the inaugural Orange Prize for Fiction in 1996, and she went on to become a Sunday Times bestseller with The Siege, which was described by Antony Beevor as a `world-class novel¿ and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Novel of the Year and the Orange Prize. Published in 2010, her eleventh novel, The Betrayal, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and shortlisted for the Orwell Prize and the Commonwealth Writers Prize, and The Lie in 2014 was shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and the 2015 RSL Ondaatje Prize.
Her final novel, Birdcage Walk, deals with legacy and recognition ¿ what writers, especially women writers, can expect to leave behind them ¿ and was described by the Observer as `the finest novel Helen Dunmore has written¿. She died in June 2017, and in January 2018, she was posthumously awarded the Costa Prize for her volume of poetry, Inside the Wave.

Recenzii
A marvellous novel about forbidden passions and the terrible consequences of thwarted love. Dunmore is one of the finest English writers
A hugely involving story which often stops you in your tracks with the beauty of its writing
An electrifying and original talent, a writer whose style is characterized by a lyrical, dreamy intensity
Tense, dark and intensely gripping . . . written so seductively that passages sing out from the page
Her prose is poetic in its emotional range and intensity
Unsettling love and stifled horror create and then destroy the claustrophobic world of this lush, literary Gothic set in turn-of-the-century England. In true Gothic fashion, terror, violence and eroticism collect beneath every dark surface. . . . A finely crafted, if disturbing, literary page-turner
It bears the distinctive lyrical beauty of its predecessors . . . Helen Dunmore is an unusually fine writer. There is a strong and sensuous magic to A Spell of Winter
One of our finest writers
Immensely sad, quite beautiful, and deserves to be read by all lovers of good novel
