Book description
From the bestselling author of LABYRINTH and SEPULCHRE - a compelling
story of ghosts and remembrance. Illustrated throughout by Brian
Gallagher. The Great War took much more than lives. It robbed a
generation of friends, lovers and futures. In Freddie Watson's case, it
took his beloved brother and, at times, his peace of mind. In the winter
of 1928, still seeking resolution, Freddie is travelling through the
French Pyrenees. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the mountain
road. He stumbles through woods, emerging in a tiny village. There he
meets Fabrissa, a beautiful woman also mourning a lost generation. Over
the course of one night, Fabrissa and Freddie share their stories. By
the time dawn breaks, he will have stumbled across a tragic mystery that
goes back through the centuries. By turns thrilling, poignant and
haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by
courage. THE WINTER GHOSTS is a gorgeous illustrated novel inspired by
The Cave, Kate Mosse's short story written for the Quick Reads
Initiative for adult emergent readers. Kate Mosse is the author of two
non-fiction books, one play and four previous novels, including the
multi-million selling international No 1 bestseller, Labyrinth.
Translated into 37 languages and published in 40 countries, it won
'Richard & Judy's Best Read' at the 2006 British Book Awards and
chosen as one of Waterstone's Top 100 novels of the past twenty five
years. Her novella for Quick Reads aimed at adults with literacy issues,
The Cave, was published in 2008 and her short stories have appeared in a
range of collections
