Description

Young poet, Dora Fielding, moves to Helensburgh on the west coast of Scotland. As the battle begins for her very sense of self, Dora comes to find the realities of small town life suffocating; until she finds a way to escape reality altogether. Another poet, she discovers, lived in Helensburgh once…1930: Wystan H. Auden takes a teaching post at Larchfield School for boys where he is mocked for his Englishness and suspected - rightly - of homosexuality. Yet in this repressed limbo Wystan will fall in love for the first time, even as he fights his deepest fears.
