Light on Snow
The events of a December afternoon, on which a father and his daughter find an abandoned infant in the snow, will forever alter the twelve-year-old girl’s understanding of the world and the adults who inhabit it: a father who has taken great pains to remove himself from society in order to put an unthinkable tragedy behind him; a young woman who must live with the consequences of the terrible choices she has made; and a detective whose cleverness is exceeded only by his sense of justice.Written from the point of view of thirty-year-old Nicky as she recalls the vivid images of that fateful December, her tale is one of love and courage, of tragedy and redemption, and of the ways in which he human heart seeks to heal itself.
Reviews
‘In a world teeming with novels which do not live up to their hype, it is a treat to read one whose emotional depth belies its simple-seeming exterior. Light On Snow is a gem of a book by the daintiest of storytellers’ Max Davidson, Sunday Telegraph
‘Full of emotional depth, it’s not a comfortable read but one that will stay with you a long time’ Star Choice, Daily Mirror
‘Emotionally rich . . . it’s the literary equivalent of a snuggly blanket on a snowy night’ Marie Claire
