Format:Paperback
This is the 3rd book in White's Frost in May Quartet (Frost in May, The Lost Traveller, Beyond the Glass), and is perhaps the most painful and claustrophobic to read. Clara, now a travelling actress, falls painfully in love and after her inevitable betrayal, retreats to the safety of marriage with Archie. She likes him but feels nothing more, and the burden of his adoration push her closer to the edge. The sheer stifling claustrophobia of her life is so palpable in this novel that I kept wanting to go outside! And you just know that something dreadful is going to happen in the next book...
