Have you ever woken up suddenly, in the middle of the night, not knowing why? From Maggie O'Farrell, the award-winning author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait, comes an extraordinary and stunning contemporary fairy tale about the courage of a little girl and the wonder of a snowy day. Sylvie wakes up one night, suddenly, without knowing the reason. Then she sees the most spectacular sight – a pair of wings, enormous in size, made of the softest white feathers you can imagine. An angel in her room... a snowman. He tells her that he is there to watch over her, as Sylvie is not as well as she seems... Many months later, as Sylvie is recovering from her illness, she longs to see her snowman again. He saved her life, after all. There is so much she wants to tell him, so much she wants to learn. Will he ever return to her? And how can Sylvie make sure that all her loved ones have their own snowman, to keep them safe?
