Synopsis

<div>At once a powerful love story and an intricately plotted mystery, <i>Winterton Blue</i> is the breathtaking new novel from the Booker Prize finalist and national best-selling author of <i>The Hiding Place</i> and <i>Remember Me.</i> For the last twenty years, Lewis has been haunted by his brother&#8217;s death. Then, on a quest to finally find the person he believes is responsible, he meets Anna, who is haunted by her mother. Except her mother, Rita, happens to be very much alive and is the exact opposite of her daughter; loud, carefree, and a daredevil. At seventy-six, she still runs a guest house overflowing with cocktails, music hall turns, and her boyfriend, Vernon, a retired actor and bon vivant. Recognizing a kindred spirit in each other, Lewis and Anna are at first too headstrong to admit they are susceptible to love. Against the backdrop of the Norfolk coast, with its massive skies and relentless seas, they must learn to trust each other and accept that an uncertain future can be as wild and alluring as the landscape they have grown to love.</div>

Review

"What an entrance . . . wherever Azzopardi has been hiding, it has been worth the wait."

"A mesmerizing meditation on loss itself and the subjectivity of perception." -- Catherine Lockerbie

"Dazzling . . . Trezza Azzopardi's characters are so sharply drawn that they bite." -- Christina Schwarz

"Gorgeously written, keenly and sympathetically observed: a chiller with a human face." -- Cathleen Medwick

"A harrowing and remarkably self-assured first novel [by an author of] copious and galvanic talents." -- Michiko Kakutani

"[Azzopardi] writes with such poetry and urgency. . . . She gives a voice to one whom the world has dismissed as unworthy." -- Elizabeth Gold

"Remember Me swirls from one shocking revelation to another, until its chilling, jaw-dropping resolution. . . . Could be the most unforgettable book of the year." -- Robert Allen Papinchak
