A Spell of Winter Author:Helen Dunmore If Catherine's season was winter, Rob's was summer. He was her reflection as the two of them huddled together amongst the debris of other people's pasts. Abandoned by their father and mother, they created a secret world of their own in their grandfather's house, until the spell was broken.
Have to say I found this story a bit weird. Creepy-weird. I couldn't get over it enought to get through the book. But if you're looking for some "edgyness" in your reading and a book set in turn-of-the-century England, do give it a try.
