SUMMARY:Helen Bain The Daffodil Days - More Availability!!!!
DESCRIPTION:A mesmerising debut novel imagining a pivotal year in the marri
 age of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes in a small Devonshire town\, as brought
  to life by the community around them.\n\nIn the early 1960s\, in a small 
 town near Dartmoor\, the church bells ring. The people of North Tawton go 
 about their days\, catching glimpses of one another's lives.\n\nThere's th
 e local GP\, who knows more about his patients than he would sometimes pre
 fer. There's the young shop assistant at Kestrels\, who understands that t
 he ladies who come there for a new outfit sometimes hope to find a new sel
 f. There's the tenant farm labourer who rings the tower bells at the churc
 h three times a week\, the notes - harmonious and clashing - rippling out 
 across the rooftops of the town.\n\nAmid all these lives\, a young couple 
 move into focus. New to the town with their small daughter\, they have esc
 aped London for a quieter existence in the thatched house beside the churc
 h\, Court Green. The life they intend to build here - out of fresh lino ti
 les\, second-hand furniture painted with hearts and flowers\, and expertly
 -cooked suppers for weekend guests - will be a good and happy one.\n\nThe 
 Daffodil Days depicts a pivotal year in the marriage of 20th-century liter
 ature's most infamous couple\, witnessed by the people they lived among. I
 t is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this enigmatic pair\, refracted through t
 he rich inner lives of a rural community caught - if only for a moment - i
 n their light.\n\nIn conversation with Catherine Larner - We have been abl
 e to release more seats for this event so grab yours now before they all g
