Born between the wars in a working-class South London street, Harry
Miles is a sensitive and capable boy who attends school on a
scholarship and grows into a thoughtful young man. Full of energy
and literary ambition, he visits Battersea Library in search of New
Writing: instead, however, he discovers Evelyn, a magnetic and
independent-minded woman from a narrow, terraced street not far
from his own.This is a love story, albeit an unconventional one,
about two people who shape each other as they, their marriage and
their country change. From London before the sexual revolution to
the lewd frescos of Pompeii, from the acrid devastation of
Churchill's North African campaign to the cloying bounty of
new-built suburbs, Dear Evelyn is a novel of contrasts, whose
portrait of a seventy-year marriage unfolds in tender, spare, and
excruciating episodes.
