The Daffodil Days offers a rich, multi-voiced portrait of Sylvia Plaths final year in Devon, capturing a rural community on the cusp of change. The Shock of the Light explores the emotional impact of the Second World War through twins Tessa and Theo, evacuated as children - only one returns home. Together, these powerful novels explore memory, revelation and the enduring pull of the past.
