DECEMBER 1962, THE WEST COUNTRY.
Local doctor Eric Parry, mulling secrets, sets out on his rounds, while his pregnant wife sleeps on in the warmth of their cottage. Across the field, funny, troubled Rita Simmons is also asleep, her head full of images of a past life her husband prefers to ignore. He's been up for hours, tending to the needs of the small dairy farm where he hoped to create a new version of himself, a project that's already faltering.
But when the ordinary cold of an English December gives way to violent blizzards, the two couples find their lives beginning to unravel.
Where do you hide when you can't leave home? And where, in a frozen world, can you run to?

Good things happen in bookshops…
There are many wonderful things one can discover in a great bookshop. Be it adventure, delight, magic or atmosphere..
Not only are we a friendly hub in the local community, offering a safe and nourishing space, but we are also happy to share our working knowledge of tall tales and super stories with anyone who might need a helping hand.
Titles you won’t find in bigger bookstores…
We have books that many of the larger stores ignore. Stillwater are in the enviable position of seeking and finding pearls that sometimes sink under the radar of the giants. This means we can give little gems some of the starlight they deserve.
Come and see the catches our nets have brought in…
“I’ll read my books
and I’ll drink coffee
and I’ll listen to music
and I’ll bolt the door.”

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone, whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
