About this listen
When Anna is kissed by a mysterious stranger at a NYE masquerade ball , a dance of seduction begins.
'So original and refreshing.' Hilary Mantel
'Brilliantly seductive ... A witty, sexy, sophisticated treat.' Sarah Waters
'Superb ... Sheer artistic insolence.' Iris Murdoch
'A great novel ... A swirling, sumptuous, sensual feast.' Guardian
London, New Year's Eve. Snow falls on a Georgian mansion, vibrating with the festivities of a masquerade ball within. Middle-aged divorcee Anna stands alone - until the clock chimes midnight and a mysterious figure kisses her on the mouth. Thus begins a dance of seduction charged by clandestine romances swirling around them, whipping the ball into an frenzy of operatic proportions - until the night climaxes, revealing unease beneath the glitter ... A scandalous sensation in 1964, Brigid Brophy's The Snow Ball is ripe to seduce a new generation of listeners.
'I read it in one sitting ... Wonderful!' Claire-Louise Bennett
'A feminist remodelling of libertine fervour and passion. ' Eley Williams
'One of the wittiest British writers of the past half century ... A comet in her day.' Terry Castle
