When Anna is kissed by a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball, a heady dance of seduction begins ... "So original and refreshing." -- Hilary Mantel "Brilliantly seductive ... A witty, sexy, sophisticated treat." -- Sarah Waters "Superb ... Sheer artistic insolence." -- Iris Murdoch "A great novel ... A swirling, sumptuous, sensual feast." -- Guardian "A feminist remodelling of libertine fervour and passion ... Fiction at its finest." -- Eley Williams London, New Year's Eve. Snow falls on a Georgian mansion, vibrating with the festivities of a masquerade ball within. Middle-aged divorcee Anna stands alone - until the clock chimes midnight and a mysterious figure kisses her on the mouth. Thus begins a dance of seduction charged by clandestine romances swirling around them, whipping the ball into an frenzy of operatic proportions - until the night climaxes, revealing unease beneath the glitter ... A scandalous sensation in 1964, Brigid Brophy's The Snow Ballis ripe to seduce a new generation of readers.
