A Spell of Winter | Helen Dunmore

#BookMail Pt3 This one was an impulse buy after seeing it on @SavidgeReads booktube channel. It sounded perfect for this time of year, a turn of the century story of a brother & sister who after being abandoned by their parents, grow up isolated in a decaying mansion in the woods. It has a strong “Flowers In The Attic” vibe with the growing relationship between siblings who have nobody else to turn to. So trigger warning for incest.

SaraFair I ❤️ Simon! It is gorgeous, if even just for decoration! 3mo

charl08 Sad news. 3y

andrew61 Very sad, her children's book ingo was a favourite of two of my daughters, and i only recently enjoyed 'exposure', she was capable of diverse and brilliant writing. I also only recently heard her on r4 book programme eloquently talking about her writing, illness and that her writing allowed her to live on for her grandchildren. 3y

So I'm not sure how to review this book. This is really immersive and the writing is beautiful but I can see why some people don't like it. It won the first ever what was called at the time orange prize. This is a book if you like a gothic type novel set in a crumbling house that is really claustrophobic. Will say though there is incest and this isn't a comfortable book in any way. But it is worth a read if you like that style of writing

candyflossramparts The Litsy description makes this book sound like a more literary Flowers in the Attic. Hmmmmmm 🤔 3y

Weaponxgirl @candyflossramparts I've not read that one so I honestly can't tell you but I have heard it described as such. 3y

candyflossramparts Flowers in the Attic was one of those books that every pre-teen girl read when I was younger (for better or worse 😅). I'm intrigued, so I've added it to my stack - I love a gothic! 3y

Weaponxgirl @candyflossramparts gotcha, I may not be reading that one anytime soon then 😉 3y

candyflossramparts Solid choice! 😉 3y

A Spell of Winter was exactly as I thought in terms of the sentiment in the book, but it was NOTHING like I expected in terms of the plot. Have you read it? What did you think about Catherine and Rob?

LitHousewife I love the title! 4y

MyBookLife @LitHousewife Me too! Have you read it? 4y

Lakesidemusing Gorgeous cover! 4y

MyBookLife @Lakesidemusing I know! That was one of the things that draw me to the book :) 4y
