'A darkly scattered fable told with beauty, magic, love but also
heart-wrenching realism ... Fans of The Familiars and The Binding
will love this' MY WEEKLY 'It's fabulous, we should all have
copies' Simon Mayo, Scala Radio 'A glorious love story, a
spellbinding fable' Adele Parks Women imprisoned by superstition,
chained by guilt. Perched on a mountain in a land of ancient
forests is a village, rife with secrets. Cut off from the outside
world it is run by the elders, men to whom tradition is all. Edith
lives alone with her alcoholic father who is forcing her to marry
the village butcher. But she is in love with a shepherd who
promised to return to her. As the village becomes isolated in a sea
of snow, Edith loses her power of speech. And it is this
enchantment that will have far-reaching consequences, not only for
Edith but for the whole village. 'An enchanting and timeless
feminist fable' Mail on Sunday 'A gorgeous love story ... with more
than a touch of magical realism' Independent
