Produktbeschreibung

Yes, this is a love story. But it's so much more than that. The reader is thrust into a world where hospital doctors are on shift or on call for stupidly long hours and are then expected to make sound judgments in life or death situations. Rory is suffering from undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder and in a world where to complain is to fail or to be weak he self-medicates, suppresses his emotions and carries on. The narrative sweeps us along. Will they, won't they? Betrayal, lies, dubious choices. Rory and Jodi are emotionally complex characters with professional and personal pressures that make their decisions easy to judge harshly - but who are we to judge when they are such relatable human beings? . . . Merriman is adept at drawing us into the hearts and minds of her characters making The Silence of Snow a compelling page turner, a thrilling romance, a distressing drama. I don't often cry but this story was so immediate, accessible and real that my mind had conjured the characters and turned them into people I know. Emotionally draining and enlightening, this is a novel to be read in large chunks with a mug of tea and a box of tissues.
