"A dazzling fantasy." TLS "Brilliantly crafted." Observer

Product Description
Reality and the supernatural intertwine in this exciting and chilling novel from an award-winning author; As the Hamiltons gather at their holiday beach house, Carnival's Hide, for their Christmas celebrations, the warm, chaotic familty atomosphere is chilled by the unexpected arrival of three sinister brothers. Who are they? Where are they from? Only 17-year-old Harry, the middle daughter, is close to seeing the truth. Are these brothers her own invention, or are they truly descendants of Teddy Carnival who drowned there many years earlier? As the brothers gradually reveal their purpose, long-hidden family secrets are also unfurled. No one emerges unscarhed...

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and asorbing, 26 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This book is compulsive reading for anyone who has ever felt that their family doesn't understand them.

From the very first page you are drawn into Harrys world, sharing her feelings of unease at what should be an ordinary family xmas, and when the three brothers appear you share her frustrations when her family wont belive her that the brothers are not quite what they seem.

This book will draw you in and not let you go untiil you finish it.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, and yet deeply touching, 23 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I picked this book up by chance at my local library, and was instantly gripped. The resentfulness mixed with love and admiration Ariadne feels for her sisters is mirrored in most families. The supernatural element is also not comletely alien-romance, or the absence of it is a universal feeling. I have reread this book many times since I bought it, and have never got bored of it. This is the type of book that you will keep for ever and pass onto all your freinds, children and relatives until your copy is so dogeared you need to buy a new one! A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious and exciting, 19 Jul 2004
By Mrs E S Allan (Lincoln, Lincolnshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I happened upon this and found it a most page turning read: it's very well written, the family characters are real and complex, the sense of place is excellent and makes me want to go back to New Zealand and the mysterious plot is compelling and really keeps you guessing.
