Books set in Norfolk please

[SilkStalkings]

Just booked our summer holiday in Norfolk, never been so looking for fiction set there please.

The Accidental - Ali Smith (I think it's set in Norfolk, I certainly read it there one summer)

Apparently some of the later Swallows and Amazons books are set in Norfolk (another MNer told me that when I asked the same Q as you a year or two ago ).

Have a look here

Roma Tearne -The Swimmer

The Future Homemakers of America by Laurie Graham

The Swallows & Amazons books are The Big Six & Coot Club (Arthur Ransome)

You could try Waterland by Grahan Swift.

Or if you fancy frivolous, anything by Sid Kipper

The Ruth Galloway crime fiction series by Elly Griffiths.

Waterland by Graham Swift - the Fens anyway

oops cross posted

Ooh fab, thanks!

Some of Philip Pullman's Dark Material trilogy is set in the Fens too. And I'm pretty sure there are PD James books set in East Anglia too (or was that Suffolk?)

Useful wiki page

M.R. James's terrifying ghost story 'Whistle and I'll come to you, my lad' takes place on the Norfolk coast.

Dorothy Sayer, nine Tailors. Think that's Norfolk?

Also, I think The Go Between by L.P.Hartley. I remember a scene in Norwich, anyway.

One of Penelope Fitzgerald's. The Bookshop, I think.

The King of the Barbareens, can't remember authors name. About a girl brought up in care.

The custard boys
Floodland - starts in norwich

There's a series of books by Chris Crowther set on the broads. They are murder mystery stories.

I, Partridge

Definitely Waterland, amazing book.

Second the Laurie graham. One of my favourite books ever.

Thanks for starting this thread OP, I can recommend the Laurie Graham, Graham Swift and the Peter Whimsey books. Thanks too for the suggestion of prettydaisies re Chris Crowther. I have just read his website and ordered his first book from e-bay.
The Swallows and Amazon series is great fun to read too, I missed out on them as a child but haved enjoyed reading them now.

You can also try:

Laura's Handmade Life by Amanda Addison

My Criminal World by Henry Sutton

Salt by Jeremy Page

The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths

The Hard Way (Jack Reacher 10) by Lee Child

I really enjoyed Salt and came on to recommend - it already has been. V evocative.

Yes - Salt is very good.

The Go Between was filmed at Melton Constable Hall.

The beginning of Great Expectations is set in Yarmouth.

Jim Kelly writes detective series set in Norfolk
Pula the Philip Dryden series set in the Fens.
I read a brilliant book called Seldom Seen by Sarah ??
