Having followed the famous opera singer, Berenice Oxbow, from Zurich to Birmingham, she's determined not to let her out of her sight.But when a terrible snow storm isolates the hotel - and its guests - from the outside world, the lines between nightmare and reality begin to blur...Praise for Kate Mascarenhas: 'Breathtakingly tender and wryly understated' New York Times 'Witty, inventive and unflashily wise about the human heart' Guardian.
