What to expect
The Snow Rose is the gripping story of a woman on the run from her past by Lulu Taylor, author of The Winter Folly.
'It's psychologically intense, brilliantly written and perfect escapism' – Daily Mail
I know they think I shouldn't keep her . . . That's why I've escaped them while I can, while I still have the opportunity . . .
Kate is on the run with her daughter Heather, her identity hidden and their destination unknown to the family they've left behind. She's found a place where they can live in solitude, a grand old house full of empty rooms and dark secrets. But they're not alone: in the cottage next door live two strange older ladies, sisters Matty and Sissy. They know what happened here long ago, and are curious about Kate. How long can she hide Heather's presence from them?
When an eccentric band of newcomers arrive, led by the charismatic Archer, Kate realizes that the past she's so desperate to escape is about to catch up with her. And inside the house, history is beginning to repeat itself . . .

[A] gripping story
Hello!
