Books by Jude Hayland

It is 1966 and 12 year old Mary Foster's narrow, prescribed world is abruptly disturbed by a sudden, unexplained move from suburban London to a neglected Victorian house on the south coast of England.

Grace Barnes, living in her subterranean one-room flat at the nether end of Earl's Court, feels out of tune with striving, self-seeking 1980's London. Meeting Archie Copeland, she is gratified to have found a man who shares her obsession for reading and seems more fascinated by Shelley than shifting share prices.
