About this ebook

It's 1949 and the harsh weather has taken a sharp turn. The thick ice sheets in the harbour have dissolved into the Atlantic, and mounds of coal-dusted snow have melted into the ground. There is a palpable energy throughout the gritty coal mining town, yet Mabel has a sense of foreboding. She's worried about what has become of Lily and her children, and terrified that a troubling secret she has been keeping from those she loves will soon be exposed, tearing families and friendships apart.
In The Year With No Spring, the author once again masterfully weaves humour throughout an engrossing, fast-paced and suspenseful tale that takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. MacLeod's rich story line, beautiful imagery and realistic dialogue will make you feel as if you are walking among the characters as this heartwarming, sometimes heartrending, story of love and friendship unfolds.
