DURHAM LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2000

 

HELEN DUNMORE

Helen Dunmore has published six novels, including A Spell Of Winter, winner of the Orange Prize. She is also a poet, children’s novelist and short-story writer.

‘She is a writer who can wrap up artifice in plain, straightforward speech, and evoke summers in the midst of winters of discontent. In these and other particulars, she has proved herself a strong contender for future prizes’

Anita Brookner
