By the author of the "New York Times"-bestselling
"Labyrinth," a story of two lives touched by war and
transformed by courage. In the winter of 1928, still seeking
some kind of resolution to the horrors of World War I,
Freddie is traveling through the beautiful but forbidding
French Pyrenees. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the
mountain road. 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,
centuries-old mystery, and discovered his own role in the
life of this remote town.
