What is In the Dark: Bestselling Author of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel about?

Historical, domestic and sexy like Deborah Moggach’s best-selling Tulip Fever, this is a tantalizing, page-turning story set in South London’s dark and dirty streets during WWI."Great narrative skill and emotional intelligence." - The Times1916. Pretty Eithne Clay runs a ramshackle South London boarding house with the help of her teenage son, Ralph, and their maid, Winnie. Struggling to keep herself, her lodgers and her son going as everyday life vanishes in the face of war, Eithne's world is transformed by the arrival of Mr Turk, the virile, carnal, carnivorous local butcher who falls passionately in love with her. As the house bursts to life with the electricity - metaphorical and real - he brings, dark secrets come to light."One of Deborah Moggach’s strengths as a writer is an ability to bring a contemporary sensibility to bear on richly imagined period detail, the better to illuminate the past...(In The Dark) is both convincingly Edwardian and erotic in a way that only a modern novel can be." - The Observer
