About this listen
The Snow Rose is the gripping story of a woman on the run from her past by Lulu Taylor, author of The Winter Folly.
I know they think I shouldn't keep her... That's why I've escaped them while I can, while I still have the opportunity...
Kate is on the run with her daughter Heather, her identity hidden and their destination unknown to the family they've left behind. She's found a place where they can live in solitude, a grand old house full of empty rooms and dark secrets. But they're not alone: in the cottage next door live two strange older ladies, sisters Matty and Sissy. They know what happened here long ago, and are curious about Kate. How long can she hide Heather's presence from them?
When an eccentric band of newcomers arrive, led by the charismatic Archer, Kate realizes that the past she's so desperate to escape is about to catch up with her. And inside the house, history is beginning to repeat itself...

Critic reviews
"It's psychologically intense, brilliantly written and perfect escapism." (Daily Mail)
Excellent story

If you could sum up The Snow Rose in three words, what would they be?
Sad, controlling, happy endingWho was your favorite character and why?
Kate. The way Lulu Taylor wrote about how the grief affected Kate I found very movingHave you listened to any of Imogen Church’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Imogen Churche's reading was good. I haven't heard her read beforeWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes - when I realised that Heather was dead. At the beginning I thought Kate and Heather were together!Any additional comments?
Not sure I like reading about cults.The Snow Rose

Too long winded

An odd novel and not very convincing or inspiring.
Disappointing
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The 'cult' side of the story was quite 'same old same old' of what cults are meant to be. Safe to say that if you are a mastermind at lying and a sex maniac then you will fit right in!
Kate's overall story was ok and the narrative was good. However it could have been told in half the time without the cult part which really added nothing to the tale. It is ok as an easy read Maybe pick it up from the charity shop or somewhere really cheap Certainly (in my opinion) not atall worth wasting your audible credit on. I will be returning it.
A bit dull

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I can't think of anybody who would like this book, even fans of Lulu Taylor's previous work.What will your next listen be?
I don't know, but hopefully something more page-turning or uplifting.What three words best describe Imogen Church’s voice?
Serious, mournful, calmYou didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
At the beginning there was some sense of tension and mystery, but in general the subject matter was heavy and dull, and just plain sadAny additional comments?
I have really enjoyed all of Lulu Taylor's other books, so I do hope this one was just a blipA depressing read
