A highly contagious book virus, a literary society and a Snow Queen-like disappearing author 'She came to realise that under one reality there's always another. And another one under that.' Only very special people are chosen by children's author Laura White to join 'The Society', an elite group of writers in the small town of Rabbit Back. Now a tenth member has been selected: Ella, literature teacher and possessor of beautifully curving lips. But soon Ella discovers that the Society is not what it seems. What is its mysterious ritual, 'The Game'? What explains the strange disappearance that occurs at Laura's winter party, in a whirlwind of snow? Why are the words inside books starting to rearrange themselves? Was there once another tenth member, before her? Slowly, disturbing secrets that had been buried come to light… In this chilling, darkly funny novel, the uncanny brushes up against the everyday in the most beguiling and unexpected of ways.

Quotes

  • Isahas quoted2 years ago
    morning in the middle of a grammar lesson, in the middle of a sentence, Ella started thinking: if a person has a soul, was her father’s soul gradually escaping, like air out of a leaky tire? She didn’t particularly believe in the soul or in God, but the thought kept coming back to worry her.
  • Isahas quoted2 years ago
    opened the book and was horrified to see that the pages were empty. She took down another book, and another.
    “They’re all empty,” the cat said tauntingly. “You’d better hurry up. I’d start writing if I were you. Do you want to know how to write novels? I’ll tell you the secret: start on page one and keep going, in order, until you come to the last page. Then stop.”
  • Isahas quoted2 years ago
    Later she came to realize that under one reality there’s always another. And another one under that.
