Selected Poems: Frank Thompson (Poetry Recoveries)

Originally published in 1936, this novel offers a vivid premonition of a British fascist regime only five years in the future, modelling its narrative on the events of Hitler's second year in power and his Night of the Long Knives. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the interwar years, it is also, in the sheer power of its story-telling, an enthralling novel in the vein of such dystopian fictions as 1984 and Brave New World.

Harris's requiem

Thomas Harris is on the cusp of great success as a classical composer, but for every success, he gets a knock back. This gripping, superbly crafted novel portrays the classical music world of the late 1950s as it follows Harris's compelling journey.
