This was a beautiful novel and perfect to read during autumn/winter. I didn't know about the author before but I will definitely look her up.

Don't start this one at bedtime unless you're planning to go to bed a few hours early: you won't want to put it down to sleep. On my first reading of the book, it was 3am by the time I finished it and turned out the light!

Several years later I still believe that this book deserves far more attention than it has had to date. I plan to recommend it to my local library for one of their winter-themed displays. It's decidedly not the stereotypical paranormal romance/young adult ghost story and/or fantasy, and I love it for how out of the ordinary it is.

I have the audiobook version on my phone, too, and I especially enjoy re-reading (or listening to) this book every year, as winter begins to approach. The narrator brings out the character of Tilly beautifully and Tilly, and the atmosphere, are the two most special things about <em>Frost Hollow Hall</em>.
