A Lily of the Field
Spanning the tumultuous years 1934 to 1948, John Lawton's A Lily of the Field is a brilliant historical thriller from a master of the form. The book follows two characters-Méret Voytek, a talented young cellist living in Vienna at the novel's start, and Dr. Karel Szabo, a Hungarian physicist interned in a camp on the Isle of Man.

Über den Autor
JOHN LAWTON is the author of a dozen unfilmed screenplays, three or four unpublished kids' books and a fair few novels-some acclaimed, some not. Approaching old age he is the possessor of a gold bus pass and is alarmed to find himself increasingly restless, itinerant and untrustworthy. He grows leeks and spuds and is devoted to the works of Franz Schubert and Barbara Gowdy. He lives in Derbyshire, England, but can often be found (or lost) elsewhere.
