Synopsis;
An amazing and captivating, curl-up-on-the-sofa debut about a magical frost fair and the lasting power of friendship.
It’s a cold winter during the Great Frost of 1683. Thomasina and Anne are the best of friends, one running her father’s sweet shop and the other the apprentice at the family apothecary – together they sell their goods on the frozen River Thames. When a family tragedy turns Thomasina’s world upside down, she is drawn to a mysterious conjuror and the enchanted frost fair.
But soon the world of Father Winter threatens to claim everything she holds dear. Will they be able to solve the magical mysteries that surround them . . . ?
My Review;
I have to admit I struggled with this book, I think because I found it just so sad and also I was reading it after work when I was tired.
However I found when I kept picking it back up I was so immersed in the frost fair it felt like I was there. I loved the magical element of the storyline and the friendships blossoming throughout this book.
The author has a way of capturing your attention, placing you into the book and making you wish things like this were real. Apart from the sea monsters and the evil characters.
