In July 1943, the young Welsh poet and soldier Alun Lewis, already
recognised as one of the outstanding writers of his generation,
arrived on sick leave at the house near Madras of Freda Aykroyd, a
devotee of literature and the wife of a British scientist. Lewis
and Aykroyd fell in love instantly, recognising in each other
similar temperaments and artistic interests. Their affair, which
lasted until Lewis' mysterious death on the Arakan Front in March
1944, inspired some of the finest of his wartime poems as well as
an extraordinary cache of letters published here for the first
time. The letters throw fresh light on Lewis' passionate and
troubled nature and the background to his literary output at a time
when he was at the height of his creative powers. In her preface,
Freda Aykroyd charts the haunting story of their relationship and
its tragic outcome.
