''A pageturner packed with family secrets and Arctic adventure'' Dundee Courier

How do you solve the mysteries of a love frozen in time?

Caroline Gillan and her new husband Alasdair have moved back to Kelly Castle, his family estate in the wilds of Scotland. Stuck caring for their baby and trying to avoid her opinionated mother-in-law, Caroline feels lonely and adrift.

But while sorting through old papers, Caroline stumbles across a century-old mystery which sparks her back to life. There is one Gillan bride who has disappeared from history. No photos or records of her exist. The only certainty is that she had a legitimate child: Alasdair''s grandmother.

As Caroline unearths a strange love story that stretches as far as the Arctic circle, her curiosity about the missing bride turns into an obsession. And when a body is found in the grounds of the castle, Caroline begins an investigation which could change the course of her life forever . . .

From the wilds of Scotland to the glaciers of the Arctic, A Woman Made of Snow is a mesmerising tale of how one woman''s past might hold the key to another''s future.
