''I prefer autumn. In autumn, I am at my best. It will be one of my lasting regrets, when you are gone, that we won''t have known each other in autumn...'' Edward had hoped for Latin America, but the newsdesk sent him to Paris. In Paris there were no machine-gun-toting revolutionaries with faces like icons. Instead there was Irina, exotically Russian, desirably statuesque, and ten years older than Edward. In an icy Paris winter, Edward and Irina are drawn together. The Steppes of Paris is an elegant and bittersweet story of unpredictable love in the City of Light - from the highly acclaimed author of Angel Cake and Playing Fields in Winter. ''I have never read a novel that describes so well the plight of the ex-pat in Paris ... the fraught progress of the affair is described with sharply wry observation'' Sunday Express ''A breath of spring, although with two acclaimed novels already to her credit Helen Harris''s talents are well past the budding stage ... wry, beautifully exact and bubbling with life'' Christopher Wordsworth, The Guardian ''The couple''s story is colourful, often funny and absorbing'' Eastern Daily Express ''An attractive, well written portrait of a young man and elderly Russian family ... well worth reading'' The Bookseller ''Excellent ... an intriguing tale, ultimately leaving the reader with the slow, cringing sense of horror as the book reaches its climax'' Jane Yelland, The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Sarah Livingstone and Ravi Kaul meet at Oxford. She is English, sensing a chance to evade the pattern of conventional middle-class life to which her experience has so far conformed. The more sophisticated Indian, Ravi, also wishes to sample another way of life - if only temporarily. Against a quintessential Oxford background of gloomy winters and hesitant summers, of tea and ginger-nuts eaten beside electric bar fires, of other people''s lovemaking overheard through thin walls, of sherry parties and suicide attempts, of girls in long cotton skirts and evening punting expeditions, their affair blossoms for two academic years. Until the inevitable time when Ravi must depart for Lucknow, Sarah for job-hunting in London - and their expectations clash head on. ''So well does Miss Harris handle this story, so convincingly and passionately does she write, that we get to know the hero and heroine, fear for them, feel for them... an accomplished first novel'' Susan Hill, Good Housekeeping ''The relationship between Sarah and Ravi is very nicely, perceptively and credibly handled. Miss Harris has got a real subject, she can tell a story and create character'' Allan Massie, The Scotsman ''Helen Harris has drawn a painfully accurate picture of the difficulty of holding on to a love in the face of society''s prejudice'' Over 21 ''An unbridgeable gap is the theme movingly explored in talented Helen Harris''s first novel'' Daily Express ''Rich in suggestion and imagination'' Punch ''A reassuringly solid descriptive sense, and the confidence to handle a delicate theme of racial integration with forthright and readable flair'' Books and Bookmen

''My old lady turned out to be an absolute fright. Serves me right, I suppose. She wears bold theatrical make-up on a shrivelled face; bright scarlet lipstick which bleeds into the deep folds of her crinkled lips and orangey pink powder which wobbles on the hairs of her chin... She wouldn''t let me in at first.'' Alicia Queripel, a retired actress, lives alone with her memories in Shepard''s Bush. Until the day Alison Woodgate appears on her doorstep to visit the old lady she has been ''allocated'' by Age Concern. Alicia, suspicious, is at first reluctant to be patronized by a mousy do-gooder. They seem to enjoy little in common. How could Alison''s boyfriend Rob compare with Alicia''s dear departed Leonard, a paragon among men? As the weeks pass, however, an unlikely friendship develops over tea and cakes and slowly, through the mingled layers of memory and imagination, an unsuspected pattern starts to emerge. By the author of Playing Fields in Winter, winner of the Author''s Club First Novel Award.
