Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city. But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard? Armed only with gardening shears and her wits, Bryony must untangle the secrets of the house before she - or the Beast - are swallowed by them.

I was hesitant at first. I don't really like the concepts behind the original fairytale that inspired this story. But oh waow!!! I love the re-writing so much! I kept being surprised and this story is going to live rent free in my head, I think.

A perfect love story with T Kingfisher's usual touches of humour and magic.
I struggled with the narrator's voice - the fake posh English accent wasn't very convincing!

Lovely story
