About this listen

Author of the winner of the Costa Book of the Year award, The Mermaid of Black Conch.

August Chalmin feels the weather like no one else. A large awkward recluse, with bright orange hair and sun-shy eyes, August hides himself away behind the counter of a Shepherd's Bush deli. One winter's day, two things change his life forever: his mother's ex-lover, Cosmo, shambles back into his life, and he discovers a rash on his arm which looks like frost. A rash which is frost. As Cosmo raises questions about August's identity, August finds himself changing with the seasons, in a journey that takes him deep into his past and to the very centre of his soul....

introverted.
