Description
Season of Secrets by Sally Nicholls is a poignant and quietly magical children’s novel that tenderly explores grief, belonging, and the power of ancient folklore. The story follows young Molly, sent to live with her grandparents while her father grapples with personal struggles at home. Feeling lost and abandoned, Molly runs into a stormy night — and it’s there, in the wild darkness, that she witnesses a desperate man fleeing from a spectral midnight hunt.
As the mysterious stranger appears in Molly’s life again and again, a strange, otherworldly bond forms between them. Blending contemporary realism with the threads of an age-old legend, Season of Secrets offers a gentle meditation on love, loss, and healing. Sally Nicholls’ lyrical writing and atmospheric storytelling create a haunting yet hopeful tale that lingers long after the final page.
Ideal for readers who enjoy thoughtful, emotionally rich stories with a touch of folklore, Season of Secrets is a moving reminder of how magic can sometimes be found in the unlikeliest of places.
