‘Superb … Sheer artistic insolence.’ – Iris Murdoch
‘Brilliantly seductive…A witty, sexy, sophisticated treat.’ – Sarah Waters
London, New Year’s Eve. Snow falls on a Georgian mansion, vibrating with the festivities of an eighteenth-century themed masquerade ball within. Middle-aged divorcee Anna stands alone, mourning her youth – until the clock chimes midnight and a mysterious masked figure kisses her on the mouth. Thus begins a heady dance of seduction charged by other clandestine romances swirling around them, whipping the ball into an erotic frenzy of operatic proportions – until the night climaxes, revealing unease beneath the glitter…
A scandalous sensation in 1964, Brigid Brophy’s The Snow Ball is a dazzling festive classic ripe to seduce a new generation of readers.
