Beschreibung
February is persecuting the townspeople. It has been winter for more than three hundred days. All forms of flight are banned and the children have started to disappear taken from their beds in the middle of the night. The priests hang ominous sheets of parchment on the trees signed 'February'. And somewhere on the outskirts of the town lives February himself with the girl who smells of honey and smoke...

In short bursts of intensely poetic language this beautifully strange and otherworldly first novel tells the story of the people in the town and their efforts to combat the mysterious spectre of February. Steeped in visual imagery this is a hauntingly enigmatic modern fairy tale - in which nothing is as it seems.
