Product Description

Product Description

An atmospheric tale of family secrets, betrayals and desire from an acclaimed storyteller. The Golden family has congregated for Christmas in their large, old family home. Laurie has invited his friend Carlo. He hopes for a chance to tell him his deepest feelings, but Carlo wants to spend time with Laurie's sister, the beautiful yet aloof Marianne. Meanwhile, their cousin, Ellie, is struggling to cope with her miserable mother and the fact that her father is absent. Outside the house the air is soft with snow; inside it crackles with tension as another family tradition becomes evident - that of keeping secrets. Some are tragic, some selfish and some embarrassing. Cut off from the outside world, will anything in the family ever be the same again?

5.0 out of 5 stars A very different Christmas., 1 April 2007
This review is from: Silent Snow, Secret Snow (Paperback)
A family gathered for Christmas - each with a secret. The mix of characters, each with his/her tensions makes for a compelling read. The setting is magical and the manner in which Geras presents her story is delighful and so original. This is almost a novella, yet provides the reader with so much: location, atmosphere, a cast of characters who present everyday problems in a climate enhanced by a range of emotions which have the potential to overwhelm each of them as they seek to protect each other until the festivities of Christmas day are over. Delicious vegetarian menus are set out for each day to further tantalise the palette. As good as Geras's other novels. She's excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 17 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Silent Snow, Secret Snow (Paperback)
This book was really, good. The family, plus a vistor are staying at the hotel for Christmas and are trapped in by snow. The story is told from the perspective of every one staying at the hotel, showing how each character is feeling. There is also a sort of love triangle.
