My book beginning is The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton, it was published by Little Brown on 2nd July.
It's FREEZING cold; like the air is made of broken glass. Our English cold is all roly-poly snowmen and 'woo-hoo! it's a snow day!' a hey-there friendly kind of cold. But this cold is mean.
Book Description
On 24th November Yasmin and her deaf daughter Ruby arrived in Alaska.
Within hours they were driving alone across a frozen wilderness
Where nothing grows
Where no one lives
Where tears freeze
And night will last for another 54 days.
They are looking for Ruby's father.
Travelling deeper into a silent land.
They still cannot find him.
And someone is watching them in the dark.

I have loved two books by this author, so this one is on my list. Thanks for sharing...and the idea of COLD seems good to me now, in the hot Central California air. LOL
ReplyDeleteHere is my pick: “THE PERFECT SON”
We rarely have that mean type of cold here in the Pacific Northwest. We usually have the wet, make a snowman type of cold, if at all. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteSounds like they are going into danger.
