'I LOVED IT! All the best bits of Barbara Pym, with a little Jane Austen — on speed' -Sarah Salway
Hidden within the confines of The Royal Institute of Prehistorical Studies, Sybil is happy enough with her work — and her love life. Then to her dismay, her old adversary, assertive and glamorous Helen Hansen, is appointed Head of Trustees. To add insult, Helen promptly seduces Sybil's boyfriend. Betrayed and broken-hearted, Sybil becomes obsessed with exposing Helen as a fraud, no matter the cost.
Offbeat and darkly funny, The Snow and the Works on the Northern Line is about things lost and found. It is also a story about love, grief and forgiveness: letting go and moving on.
