Three elderly sisters live peacefully in a rambling, ramshackle house by a lake, surrounded by deep forest. Together with their five cats, they enjoy a quiet existence in the winter of their lives, but things haven’t always been this peaceful and harmonious. Over the years, the sisters have resorted to both spells and curses to keep intrepid strangers from their door. This winter tale of snowball fights, an ice-skating knight in shining armour and a bewitched attic, takes the reader into a magical world of feisty women who rescue themselves and aren’t scared to act their age and their shoe size.
