Accounting the many early experiences, sights and sounds of the Suffolk coast, The Time by the Sea is a memoir of the then-aspiring young author Ronald Blythe's life in Aldeburgh during the 1950s.Drawn into Benjamin Britten's circle and working for the Aldeburgh Festival, and befriended by Imogen Holst and by E M Forster, Blythe remained essentially solitary, alone in the landscape. While surrounded by a stormy cultural sea, Blythe took the time to delight in the marvellous surrounds in which he found himself; the ancient churches, the shingle beaches and the wonderful marshland plants - imagery that would form the backdrop to much of his writing.Published to coincide with the centenary of Britten's birth, this is a tale of music and painting, unforgettable words and fears; an intimate appraisal of a vivid and memorable time.This book has been hand-picked for the Book People's FaberShop, in partnership with Faber & Faber.
