Description
‘It’s fabulous, we should all have copies’ Simon Mayo, Scala Radio
‘A glorious love story, a spellbinding fable’ Adele Parks
**********************************************************
Women imprisoned by superstition, chained by guilt.
Perched on a mountain in a land of ancient forests is a village, rife with secrets. Cut off from the outside world it is run by the elders, men to whom tradition is all.
Edith lives alone with her alcoholic father who is forcing her to marry the village butcher. But she is in love with a shepherd who promised to return to her.
As the village becomes isolated in a sea of snow, Edith loses her power of speech. And it is this enchantment that will have far-reaching consequences, not only for Edith but for the whole village.

Natasha P, Reviewer
A fantastic fairy tale style book full of happiness and sadness in equal measures. Very well thought out characters. A must read. Oh and what a beautiful cover!
Vikki P, Book Trade Professional
The Snow Song is a fierce, feminist read, and a true modern fairytale. Darkness entwined with light, the promise of spring during a cold winter. With her newfound silence, Edith proves the power of words, and just how important it is to choose the right ones. But the right words can only be found when the speaker is given a voice. Gardner tells this truth beautifully, with a host of entrancing characters and a sprinkle of magic.
Jackie O, Educator
This book is so magical, the language choices and the attention to detail moved me to tears. The storyline and Main characters were gripping and easy to love. I enjoyed every page and devoured this book in two sittings.
I can not recommend this hook enough- traditional yet with a modern edge. Suitable for young people as well as The more mature Reader. I can’t imagine anyone who loves to read not loving this book.
