Set in the hauntingly beautiful Oulney Castle on the Somerset Levels, THE WINTER SISTERS is a sumptuous, escapist novel blending family drama, romance, mystery and gothic suspense.

In 1932, sisters Cora and Iris Fforde live in a crumbling ancestral castle surrounded by folklore and superstition. When their father returns from America with a glamorous new wife, Thelma, the family's fragile world is thrown into turmoil. As winter closes in and floodwaters trap everyone inside the castle, Thelma becomes dangerously captivated by an enigmatic occultist and the eerie power of the house itself.

In the present day, Claudia Fforde returns to Oulney after a heartbreaking loss, hoping to make a fresh start running weddings at the castle. But strange discoveries hidden within the old walls reveal disturbing truths about the infamous winter of 1932. As the waters rise once again around Oulney, Claudia realises the past is not finished with her family yet.

Perfect for readers of Lucinda Riley, Karen Swan and Santa Montefiore, THE WINTER SISTERS is an irresistible winter read filled with secrets, atmosphere and emotional depth.
