Four love stories entwined in one novel, we’re told Sarah Holt’s debut, Love and Eskimo Snow, is ‘chick lit with a twist’. We’ll leave you to be the judge of that if you win today's giveaway copy!
Our dictionaries tell us that love, the infamous noun, can be defined precisely as ‘a strong feeling of affection’. But that’s not Missy’s experience of love. For her, affection and passion play second fiddle to commitment and pledges.
It’s not Elizabeth’s sense of the word, either; she’s got it pegged as intimacy and confidences. Then there’s Claire, for whom love is bed, and Bea, who has spent a lifetime pondering the true meaning of love – right up until the fateful October morning on which this story starts.
But is it ever possible to pick genuine, ‘true’ love out in an identity parade? Or is love more like the Sami Eskimo concept of snow: summed up only in two hundred different words, and never falling the same way twice?To enter the competition, leave a comment telling us why you'd like to win.
This is for entrants in the UK only and the last day for entries will be next Friday 23 May. Winners will be contacted via the email address used to enter.
Best of luck!
