CARRY ME: The world of the novel



HHB born in this house, Isle of Wight, 1910
The world of a novel. My new novel CARRY ME  will be published in the US (Pantheon) and Canada (House of Anansi) in March 2016. (It will be published in France by Philippe-Rey, Paris). The story unfolds 1914-38 in England, Ireland, Germany, Rotterdam, New York, and on the Llano Estacado in Texas and New Mexico. Photos from the family file were part of the inspiration for the book.
