Richard Llewellyn’s sixteen standalone novels show a writer restless for new settings and subjects. Few Flowers for Shiner (1950) drew on wartime Italy, while None But The Lonely Heart (1961) depicted working-class London. Sweet Morn of Judas Day (1965) moved to South America, and Bride of Israel, My Love (1973) engaged with the Middle East.
The novels span from 1950 to 1982, covering a remarkable range of geography and subject matter. Titles like A Flame for Doubting Thomas, The Flame of Hercules, and A Man in a Mirror show Llewellyn’s taste for evocative titles, while the variety of settings reflects a writer who spent much of his life traveling and absorbing new places.
