Winter Love by Han Suyin

From the moment Red encounters her charismatic new college classmate, Mara, she is drawn in. Recently-married Mara is stylish and colourful and has a glamorous ease that lights up wintry Blitz-ridden London. Their friendship soon becomes an illicit but exhilarating affair that begins in London digs and intensifies through strained trips to rural Wiltshire and the Welsh valleys.
 
Winter Love is a charged novel exploring the enticing obsessive power, and long agonising hold, of love.
