Frost Hollow Hall: 'The Queen of Historical Fiction at her finest.' Guardian

Product Information

Auch wenn das Tempo an sich eher langsam ist und keine große dramatische Wirkung entfaltet, blieb die Spannung für mich immer bestehen. What is revealed in this terrifying incident demands to be settled, and leads Tilly to investigate events from ten years earlier. It is told by Matilda (Tilly) Higgins, who, after falling in the forbidden lake at the Hall and being rescued by an angel, or a ghost, or even the watching Will Potter, loses her sister and father as they emigrate to America and then ends up as a maidservant at the Hall.

It's all about the dead here, she's told, and in the heart of the house she soon discovers all manner of dark secrets . I wanted more - probably because I couldn't help but picture him as a younger version of Kit 'you know nothing Jon Snow' Harington from Game of Thrones. Geistergeschichten für das Alter haben ihren ganz eigenen Charme finde ich, und da diese Geschichte auch noch im 19.And I am glad I did for it is a touching portrait of Hollow Hall and its inhabitants with an excellent storyline.

My favourite character is Tilly Higgins because she is an adventurous girl who is hard on the outside but really a kind hearted person on the inside. And then there's Kit Barrington, who appears to Tilly when the inevitable accident happens and she falls through the ice.She believes that this vision is responsible for saving her life, and quickly attributes the vision to that of Kit. Just to give some idea about the characterisation, the main character, Tilly, is a vivacious and strong-willed girl who is easy to relate to. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).
