She is Kirsten Villiers, twenty-nine, married, a mother. She slipped, knocked herself out and lost nearly a decade of her life. The world is a frightening place for Kirsty, full of strangers who say they know her and familiar faces changed by time. Then the secrets of Kirsten Villiers' present begin to reveal themselves and Kirsty starts to understand why amnesia might be preferable to knowing the truth. 'Absolutely stunning - a really brilliant, unputdownable book' KATIE FFORDE; 'A good psychological thriller, pacily told...with echoes of Helen Dunmore, Morrison's debut proves her a superb storyteller' THE TIMES

How Frozen Summer happened
Frozen Summer is the book that 'wrote itself ' after I read a piece in The Daily Mail about a woman who lost a decade of her memory and so didn't recognise her husband or children. What struck me most was the fact that she was so clear about everything in her life before that time. I kept thinking how weird that would be - how impossible to believe the people around you who told you that time had moved on. The character who started talking to me was angry and unreliable, yet somehow seductive. I listened, and wrote. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
