Summary
When a barrier between truth and illusion grows stronger, a family’s trust crumbles in this arresting short story by the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10.
Leah has spent her formative years isolated on a remote island with her family. But their quiet existence, far from the devastated mainland, is cracking. Father, sensing a coming threat, demands that a wall be built. As the stone blockade rises, Father’s paranoia escalates. So does Leah’s dread that the violence the family left behind has found its way to their sanctuary.
Ruth Ware’s Snowflakes is part of Hush, a collection of six stories, ranging from political mysteries to psychological thrillers, in which deception can be a matter of life and death. Each piece can be read or listened to in one truly chilling sitting.
Critic reviews
“For a compelling short listen, look no further than bestselling author Ruth Ware’s Snowflakes, her contribution to Amazon’s Hush audiobook collection. Narrator Jess Nahikian uses a delicate and meek voice to portray young Leah, who for years was kept isolated on a remote island with her paranoid and obsessed father. Nahikian describes the compulsive thoughts of Leah’s father and his determination to protect his family. She also channels Leah’s hardships with tenderness and vulnerability as the story leads to a surprising reveal. Listeners are faced with differentiating family illusions from fact in this relevant thriller from the author of The Woman in Cabin 10.” - Audiofile Magazine

Not the best story
To be honest I wasn't too keen on this story but needed to know how it finished so listened to it all the way through. Not the authors best book.

Thought provoking political thriller
TW: discussions of war, terrorism and kidnapping. This short story is a thought provoking political thriller that dabbles between truth and deception and will get your mind working over time. I picked up this short read because Ruth Ware is one of my auto-buy authors and I usually absolutely love everything she publishes but this one has left me with very mixed feelings and feeling somewhat disappointed. The story is based on a father who isolates himself and his children on an island to protect them from the war however the horror is closing in on them fast. And when it arrives at their door it tears their world apart. This is a good quick and easy read but unfortunately it didn't hit the same as Ware's other books and even though it was an interesting and well written read it just didn't meet my expectations.
