Description
A young girl's life is one of routine and secrecy. She lives at night, sleeps during the day, and her father appears only occasionally - their house shrouded in perpetual winter. But when Mercy finds a snowdrop on her pillow, something changes. This subtle hint of spring sets her on a journey to uncover the truth about her family's past. As she delves deeper into the story of her parents, Mercy discovers that her world is not as fixed as she thought. She travels back in time to witness events from her own childhood, and begins to understand the role that a mysterious figure named Claudius has played in shaping their lives. By piecing together the truth, Mercy's world starts to move forward. This poignant and thought-provoking novel explores themes of family, identity, and the power of secrets to both bind and divide us.
