Nadine, a sixteen-year-old runaway new to London, is set up in a decaying Georgian house by her Finnish lover, Kai. Slowly, she begins to suspect that Kai's plans for her have little to do with love. 'Be careful,' warns Enid, the elderly sitting tenant in the house, who knows all about survival and secrets. And when Nadine discovers Kai's true intentions, Enid's warning takes on a terrible and prophetic quality.

Review:
A story of terrible innocence...with openings of unexpected love and grace worthy of Graham Greene * The Independent on Sunday * Burning Bright is a beautifully constructed and thought-provoking novel, with a freshness that makes it outstanding * Sunday Telegraph * Helen Dunmore beautifully fulfils the highest function of a storyteller - to make you wonder what will happen next...one goes on addressing the problems of evil which Dunmore raises, long after one has finished her electrifying book * Sunday Times *
