The Moon is Making
Storm Jameson
Storm Jameson (1891-1986) was born and grew up in the Yorkshire port of Whitby and became one of the most formidable and prolific British novelists of the twentieth century. A committed socialist and President of English PEN, Jameson helped rescue hundreds of writers fleeing fascism during the Second World War, while producing an extraordinary body of fiction and journalism. Once widely read and admired by contemporaries including Vera Brittain and E.M. Forster, her work has slipped from view, though its sharp wit and moral urgency is strikingly contemporary. The Moon is Making was inspired by, and set in, the town of Whitby. Told through the lens of the Wikker family, Jameson's searingly brilliant portrait of a fractured coastal community explores class division and emotional alienation in this rediscovered Northern novel from the 1930s. This brand new edition of a forgotten classic is introduced by Maxine Peake and illustrated by fellow Northerner, Alice Patullo. "The Moon Is Making is superior in technical skill and dramatic power. Miss Jameson is a writer worth watching."The New York Times, 1938
