I thought my best friend’s death must have been an accident. But as I look down at the footprints in the deep snow, I suddenly see the truth: my oldest friends have been lying to me… I used to be the lucky one: a group of incredible friends, an amazing husband, Cillian, and the career I had dreamed of. But then one sleepless night ten years ago everything changed when my husband died. It tore apart not only my heart but our tight friendship group forever. Over the years, I’ve lost touch with them, and tried to move on with my life. But when my oldest friend Maura suggests we get the group back together to remember Cillian and celebrate the New Year on the remote Irish island where we grew up, I decide it’s time for a fresh start… Soon the drinks are flowing and I begin to relax, enjoying being back with the people who once meant everything to me. But as the weather turns into the worst blizzard I’ve ever seen, Maura disappears… And then I find an old diary, lost for ten years, which reveals that every one of us has secrets. As the power goes out and we become completely cut off from the mainland I suddenly realise that I’m surrounded by people I can’t trust. I have to face the facts: did one of us hurt Maura? Can I find the answers in this raging storm? And if I do, will I be next? An utterly gripping thriller that will have you hooked from the very first page until the final jaw-dropping, heart-racing twist.

The moth snowstorm, a phenomenon Michael McCarthy remembers from his boyhood when moths “would pack a car’s headlight beams like snowflakes in a blizzard,” is a distant memory. Wildlife is being lost, not only in the wholesale extinctions of species but also in the dwindling of those species that still exist. The Moth Snowstorm is unlike any other book about climate change today; combining the personal with the polemical, it is a manifesto rooted in experience, a poignant memoir of the author’s first love: nature. McCarthy traces his adoration of the natural world to when he was seven, when the discovery of butterflies and birds brought sudden joy to a boy whose mother had just been hospitalized and whose family life was deteriorating. He goes on to record in painful detail the rapid dissolution of nature’s abundance in the intervening decades, and he proposes a radical solution to our current problem: that we each recognize in ourselves the capacity to love the natural world. Arguing that neither sustainable development nor ecosystem services have provided adequate defense against pollution, habitat destruction, species degradation, and climate change, McCarthy asks us to consider nature as an intrinsic good and an emotional and spiritual resource, capable of inspiring joy, wonder, and even love. An award-winning environmental journalist, McCarthy presents a clear, well-documented picture of what he calls “the great thinning” around the world, while interweaving the story of his own early discovery of the wilderness and a childhood saved by nature. Drawing on the truths of poets, the studies of scientists, and the author’s long experience in the field, The Moth Snowstorm is part elegy, part ode, and part argument, resulting in a passionate call to action.
While staying with their aunt in an ancient English house, three children discover a strange snowstorm paperweight which takes them back in time, bringing them face-to-face with ancestors who help them find a long lost treasure trove.
On the eve of 1848 as small revolutions begin all over Europe, thirteen-year-old Catherine Ayre finds herself involved in dangerous political intrigue in the small but troubled country of Letzenstein where her grandfather, the Grand Duke Edmond, is ruler.
"In this short, surreal twist on the classic Russian novel, a doctor travels to a distant village to save its citizens from an epidemic, but a metaphysical snowstorm gets in his way"--
Four strangers are gathered in a barn in the Devonshire countryside on New Year's Eve in the middle of a snowstorm. They are distraught and exhausted. Struggling with the tension and oppressive atmosphere surrounding them, each of them tells the others a story ? some are invented, some are taken from their lives. They tell of adventure, romance, rebellion and a mystery that the story's protagonist has to solve. Eventually, the strangers are calm and tired enough to go to sleep. However, it doesn't take long until their internal struggles resurface and their dreams turn into nightmares. Unable to conceal the nature of their suffering any longer, they start opening up to each other and reveal what has brought them to this desolate place they find themselves in. As the last day of the year comes to a close, their stories unravel.
