Description

Set against the stunning Suffolk coastline, Ronald Blythe's memoir is a poignant and introspective account of his life in Aldeburgh during the 1950s.

As an aspiring young writer, Blythe found himself drawn into a vibrant cultural circle, befriending notable figures such as Imogen Holst and E M Forster. Yet, despite his connections, he remained a solitary figure, finding solace in the landscape and its rhythms.

This beautifully written memoir gathers together Blythe's early experiences, sights, and sounds, offering a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in British cultural history. With its focus on music, painting, and the natural world, The Time by the Sea is a captivating and deeply personal tale.
