Summer in February |
This novel is based on the Edwardian artistic community that was set up in Newlyn and Lamorna, Cornwall, and revolves around the painters Harold and Laura Knight and Sir Alfred Munnings. Told from the viewpoint of Gilbert Evans the story covers unrequited love, tragedy, and wonderfully atmospheric descriptions. A great read, especially if you love Cornwall and have an interest in painting. A film has recently been made of the book, and is due out quite soon.
