August Chalmin feels the weather like no one else.
A large awkward recluse, with bright orange hair and sun-shy eyes, August hides himself away behind the counter of a Shepherd's Bush deli. One winter's day two things change his life forever: his mother's ex-lover Cosmo shambles back into his life, and he discovers a rash on his arm which looks like frost. A rash which is frost.
As Cosmo raises questions about August's identity, August finds himself changing with the seasons, in a journey that takes him deep into his past and to the very centre of his soul...

Enchanting
An absolutely beautifully written book that feels magical to read, you cannot help but fall in love with August and feel genuine affection for the other characters, I haven't enjoyed a story so much for years and was truly devastated to finish this book.
