Blackthorn Winter
by Sarah Challis (9780755309481)

In April, when blackthorn blossom clothes the hedgerows there sometimes comes a frost so severe that it seems as if the summer will never come. Country people call this a blackthorn winter.

Hiding from her previous life, she adopts an assumed name and applies for a job in the local school. But villages dont much like mysteries and secrets and soon the inhabitants of Court Barton set out to find out what it is that Claudia Barron is hiding from and why.
