New York Times bestselling author
International bestselling author
Jasper Fforde's first standalone novel – full of the imagination, wit and intelligence that has made Fforde a number one bestseller.
Every winter, the human population hibernates. During those bitterly cold four months, the nation is a snow-draped landscape of desolate loneliness, and devoid of human activity. Well, not quite. Your name is Charlie Worthing and it's your first season with the Winter Consuls, the committed but mildly unhinged group of misfits who are responsible for ensuring the hibernatory safe passage of the sleeping masses. You are investigating an outbreak of viral dreams which you dismiss as nonsense; nothing more than a quirky artefact borne of the sleeping mind. When the dreams start to kill people, it's unsettling. When you get the dreams too, it's weird. When they start to come true, you begin to doubt your sanity.
'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde.'
The Herald
'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'No summaries can do justice to [Fforde's] sheer inventiveness, wit, complexity, erudition, unexpectedness and originality.'
The Times
