“Kinghorn carefully weaves the story of love and self-discovery into the solemn tapestry of war, loss, and mental instability… With language that draws the reader into the story, Kinghorn brings the past to life and makes Pearl’s struggles for stability accessible, relatable and affecting. Kinghorn embraces a dark time in history to tell this immersive and historically sound coming-of-age tale.”

“Judith Kinghorn excels at this time period. Her descriptions are accurate, and the characters’ speech never wanders into modern territory. She vividly depicts the turmoil of the postwar period, as the great houses of England slowly begin to decay and their occupants drift away. Those who love the blockbuster show Downton Abbey will find much to enjoy in The Snow Globe.”

“Kinghorn has created a multilayered story of unbridled passion, intellectual pursuits, and uncovered memories… historical fiction readers will appreciate Kinghorn’s eye for authentic period detail.”

“A sumptuous absorbing tale of love in the time of war. Judith Kinghorn’s novel brilliantly illuminates the experiences of a generation of blighted youth.”
