Quote:
In the West of Ireland in 1939 a young novelist rents a lonely cottage to write his new book in peace.
Almost at once, and without great resistance, he is seduced by the wife of the local squire. Harriet's husband is an older man - hot-tempered, impoverished, gone to seed - who once fought famously against the Black and Tans. Soon this eternal triangle becomes a local scandal, and the atmosphere of threat and violence, intensified by the approaching war in Europe, leads to a horrific murder.
The Private Wound
is Nicholas Blake's last book, written with such intensity of feeling and depth of character that it is widely regarded as his best.
"Really splendid. When they come round to having a Crime-writer Laureate, Mr Blake's brow is there for the wreathing" -
