Reviews for A Spell of Winter: WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

A marvellous novel about forbidden passions * Daily Mail * An intensely gripping book...written so seductively that some passages sing out from the page, like music for the eyes * Sunday Times * A hugely involving story which often stops you in your tracks with the beauty of its writing * Observer * An electrifying and original talent, a writer whose style is characterized by a lyrical, dreamy intensity * Guardian *
