February 1945. Europe is in ruins and the Red Army is searing its way across Germany. The War is over, but for some the fight for survival is only just beginning. Alix, the aristocratic daughter of a German resistance fighter, is alone and desperate to flee. But when a ferocious snowstorm descends she must return to the shelter of her abandoned home. There she finds her childhood sweetheart, Gregor. As old passions are rekindled, a couple break in to hide - a man in Gestapo uniform and a more familiar companion. By morning the woman and her Nazi escort are dead, and Gregor has vanished. Terrified, Alix runs for her life. Can the riddles of that fateful night ever be deciphered?
Eliza Graham spent her biology lessons sitting at the back of the classroom, reading Jean Plaidy novels behind her textbooks. In English and history, however, she sat right at the front, hanging on to every word. At home she read books while getting dressed and cleaning her teeth, and during school holidays she visited the public library several times a day. At Oxford University she read English literature on a course that regarded anything written after about 1930 as too modern to be included. She retains a love of Victorian novels and the poetry of the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. Eliza s first novel, Playing with the Moon, was longlisted for Richard & Judy s Summer Read category and named one of the World Book Day 2007 Books to Talk About.
