About the book

Helen Sutherland in the Sylvia Townsend Warner Journal (April 2020) definitely approved of the Handheld Press edition. ‘In reviewing [the original edition of] The Akeing Heart … I identified a number of shortcomings, some of which were sufficiently serious to damage the book considerably as a basis for further research.
