One of the Authors featured in Literary Norfolk
Ruth Rendell (1930-)
'People talk about the country as if it's always beautiful. The ones who don't live in it, that is. There's something awful about an East Anglian village on a Sunday afternoon in winter, something grim.'
Arguably Britain's most famous Crime novelist visits Norfolk with her 1996 novel The Brimstone Wedding (written as Barbara Vine). Set close to the boggy fens of South Lopham and the source of the Little Ouse and Waveney rivers, Rendell's mystery weaves through fictional but entirely believable Norfolk back roads, fields and villages. This carefully structured novel truly captures the essence of Norfolk; its pace, lifestyle and scenery.
