But his head is also stuffed full of ideas gleaned from romantic poetry and so, when he spends the summer on his uncle Patrick's fruit farm, it is perhaps not surprising that he quickly becomes besotted with Patrick's bewitching partner, Leonie. And when Leonie reveals that she is not married to Patrick, but is only his mistress, Walter realizes that his hopeless passion may not be quite as hopeless as he first thought. So he embarks upon a scheme to prise Leonie away from Patrick, only to discover that Leonie is playing a much deadlier game, one that could have life-changing consequences for both her and Walter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the glorious Kent countryside in high summer, and told with all Nigel Balchin's consummate skill as a storyteller, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeen Dimly Before Daw\u003c\/em\u003en\u003c\/strong\u003e is a richly enjoyable novel about adolescence, love, loss and the vast gulf that separates a child's view of the world from an adult's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeen Dimly Before Dawn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'the story pounds along eagerly with all senses alert' - \u003cem\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'excellent' - \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'thoroughly readable and consistently entertaining' - \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Balchin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914076192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914076190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penhaligon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.55d","brand":"Nigel Balchin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450307047679,"sku":"9781914076190","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47cb898a-7e91-4020-a16e-e87b670e43cf.jpg?v=1698504053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seen-dimly-before-dawn-nigel-balchin-9781914076190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
