Synopsis

This book is the winner of The Andrea Badenoch Fiction Award. The passionate love affair between Spitfire pilot Bobby Harris and photographer's model Nina Tate lasts through the turmoil of World War Two, but is tested when his plane is shot down. Disfigured and wanting to hide from the world, Bobby retreats from Bohemian Soho to the empty house his grandfather has left him, a house haunted by the secrets of Bobby's childhood, where the mysteries of his past are gradually unravelled and he discovers that love is more than skin deep. Following on from The Boy I Love , Marion Husband's highly acclaimed debut novel, Paper Moon explores the complexities of love and loyalty against a backdrop of a world transformed by war.

Media Reviews
This is an extraordinary novel. Beautifully controlled pacy prose carefully orchestrates the relationships of many well drawn characters and elegantly captures the atmosphere of England in 1946... This novel is perfect. MARGARET WILKINSON, NOVELIST
