Frost Hollow Hall: 'The Queen of Historical Fiction at her finest.' Guardian

Product Information

The author highlights how many people desperately believed in these while others were more sceptical. but I liked some of the details, like the ones that gave the reader a more specific idea of what working as a servant in a big house might have been like.

She finds life rather delicate and she quickly realises that there is an underlying tension, which is exaggerated when she continues to have her dreams of Kit Barrington, who had drowned in the lake 10 years earlier.Secrets are unearthed that will rock Tilly's world indefinitely and teach her a whole lot about family, friendship, love, absolution, letting go and moving on. Der Stil hätte noch etwas mehr an die historische Zeit angepasst sein können, dafür war die Atmosphäre und das Setting genau richtig - sehr fesselnde Geschichte mit einem dunklen Geheimnis und spannendem Aufbau! This is such a beautiful book and a superior piece of writing that I will be eternally grateful that I've read it. Meanwhile, Tilly must control her nerve while working at this scary place, while continuing to discover the truth!

In this fast moving mystery we follow the feisty, adorable Tilly on her great adventure in Frost Hollow Hall - the house which is haunted by more than one ghost and where many tragic secrets hide. However, if you enjoy having your spine tingled and the hairs on the back of your neck raised, then this is a book for you.Insgesamt fand ich es auf jeden Fall eine sehr gut aufgebaut Geschichte, mit gruseligen Momenten und tragischen Schicksalen, die mich sehr berührt hat.

She realised that there was something he wanted; he wanted her to go to Frost Hollow Hall, and to make the reveal the truth of what had happened there ten years earlier.For those who aren’t fans of ghost stories, this one isn’t as scary, as much as it is life-affirming. In other words, if you are looking for a book with good characterisation and an engaging storyline, this might just be the book for you. Now Tilly has been dared by Will to skate on that very same ice and she is not the kind of girl to shy away at a dare, especially from Will who half the girls in the village are in love with. I knew this book would be an easier read due to it being aimed at children but what I didn’t expect was how it was full of emotion and the characters complex feelings…… and yes, why shouldn’t children read this! From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer.
