About this listen

A story from Night in the Front Line, a collection of Second World War short stories.

One of Elizabeth Bowen’s most well-known stories, The Demon Lover sees Mrs Drover return to her abandoned London home, her family having settled into evacuated life in the countryside, to find a letter waiting for her.

of thing - a story that could never happen - a phantom lover.
