First Impressions

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a novel by a glorifier of "Merry England":

"The suburb of Saffron Park lay on the sunset side of London, as red and ragged as a cloud of sunset."

The winner receives a half-case of wine. (Please include a telephone number to arrange delivery.) The closing date is July 6.

Entries, including postal address, should be sent to:

First Impressions,

The winner of last week's competition, who identified Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man , is Karen MacDonald of Glasgow School of Art.
