Synopsis
Historical, domestic and sexy like Moggach€™s best-selling Tulip Fever, this is a tantalizing, page-turning story set in South London€™s dark and dirty streets during WWI.1916: Pretty young Eithne Clay runs a shabby-genteel South London boarding house while her husband is off at the War. There€™s Ralph, her fourteen-year old son, and Winnie the young maid, a homely, goodhearted country girl, and the lodgers, of course, a curious but necessary burden. They include blind Alwyne Flyte, communist and cynic, victim of a gas attack in the trenches. When the dreaded telegram arrives at the house, things turn from difficult to desperate for the two young women.Then along comes the butcher, Neville Turk, big handsome ladies€™ man, irresistible for his meat, money and brutish confidence, who throws flighty Eithne into a turmoil but has sinister plans of his own.

Review
"From the first perfect sentence this novel is a gem. Its pared sentences and vocabulary really capture the time" Evening Standard "The Moggacch miracle continues- here's another vivid, gripping yarn from the author of Tulip Fever... with a plot as twisty as a mountain road" The Times "This wartime novel of ordinary Londoners is atmospheric and buzzing with electricity... a spirited portrait of lives thrown into turmoil by the Great War" Daily Express "Like the recent novels by Ian McEwan and Sarah Waters, In the Dark successfully modernises the past. By focusing on life's murkier undercurrents... the characters come to seem appealingly familiar" -- Sophia Harrison Sunday Times "A thoughtful diligent writer" Sunday Telegraph
