A spellbinding fable for adults from the award-winning and bestselling author, Sally Gardner.


'This heartbreaking, brilliantly written novel is the most original publication for years' The Times on Sally Gardner


From an award-winning author, whose books have sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide


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.
