Book Description:
Ins
ide the glass orb was a miniature garden and a house. If she stared long enough, she could almost see the people inside. But whether they were trapped there, or kept safe, in that miniscule snowbound world, she couldn’t have said…
Christmas 1926 holds bright promise for nineteen-year-old Daisy Forbes, with celebrations under way at Eden Hall, her family’s country estate in Surrey, England. But when Daisy, the youngest of three daughters, discovers that her adored father, Howard, has been leading a double life, her illusions of perfection are shattered. Worse, his current mistress, introduced as a family friend, is joining them for the holidays. As Daisy wrestles with the truth, she blossoms in her own right, receiving a marriage proposal from one man, a declaration of love from another, and her first kiss from a third. Meanwhile, her mother, Mabel, manages these social complications with outward calm, while privately reviewing her life and contemplating significant changes. And among those below stairs, Nancy, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Jessops, the cook, find that their long-held secrets are slowly beginning to surface…
As the seasons unfold in the new year, and Daisy moves to London, desires, fortunes, and loyalties will shift during this tumultuous time after the Great War. The Forbes family and those who serve them will follow their hearts down unexpected paths that always return to where they began…Eden Hall.

The story, the era and the setting are captivating. Thanks.

I LOVED The Last Summer and Memory of Lost Senses and have excitedly been waiting for this one. I just love her writing style. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve read other reviews of this book and the more I read the more interesting it becomes. Are there little people inside the globe?? I’d like to read this one…
Sounds like an intriguing family drama. Thanks for the giveaway.
This sounds like an interesting book – the family drama is what is drawing me in
It’s funny that there aren’t more books set in the years following WWI. I guess we tend to think of that time as the Jazz Age and nothing else when in fact there were lots of other things going on in the world. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of The Snow Globe.
Sounds like a really involving family drama.

I would like to find out what happens to Daisy’s character, and what complications her father brings to their lives. It sounds like a fasinating story. Thanks for having the giveaway.
There are so many elements of the plot that captivate me — as well as certain aspects of the author’s background. But to liven things up, I’ll cite the fantastically sultry photo provided by the author! Go on, woman! Woot! Thanks again, Teddy. Cheers, Kara S
