From the New York Times bestselling author of Sepulchre and Labyrinth-a compelling story of love, ghosts and remembrance. World War I robbed England and France of an entire generation of friends, lovers and futures. In Freddie Watson's case, the battlefields took his beloved brother and, at times, his peace of mind. In the winter of 1928, still seeking some kind of resolution, Freddie is travelling through the beautiful but forbidding French Pyrenees. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the mountain road. Freezing and dazed, he stumbles through the woods, emerging in a tiny village, where he finds an inn to wait out the blizzard. There he meets Fabrissa, a lovely young woman also mourning a lost generation. Over the course of one night, Fabrissa and Freddie share their stories. By the time dawn breaks, Freddie will have unearthed a tragic mystery that goes back through the centuries, and discovered his own role in the life of this old remote town.By turns thrilling, poignant, and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage.

3.0 The Winter Ghosts
Not a very complex plot, but details were well-thought out. Wearing a hint of the movie 'Kate and Leopold' but with darker (but not sinister) overtones, it is structured towards the bending of the space-time continuum where past and present converge.

Wirklich vom Hocker hat mich dieses Hörbuch nicht gerissen. Spannung ist anders. Aber die Geschichte ist ganz nett. Von mir gibt es daher nur 05/10 Punkte bzw. 3/5 Sterne.Meine Rezension findet ihr wie immer hier

Furchtbar konstruiert, langweilig und kitschig *augenroll* Wenigstens war das Hörbuch gekürzt, und eigentlich recht gut vorgelesen.

One of a number of similar books I've read recently but I want to try and judge it on it's own merit. The book follows Freddie as he recounts his time spent in France, where he goes to escape the demons haunting him since his brother's death. The descriptions are beautiful and the characters interes...

so many people raved about this book and I enjoyed her Sepulchre so perhaps I was expecting more but there didn't seem to be any direction just a rambling mish-mash but maybe that is the point I don't know.I felt that this was a short story stretched into a short book as a filler between greater tom...
