One snowy night, a little girl expressed her wish out loud, and it came true. The desire was cruel, and it changed her whole life. She grew up with a piece of ice for a heart and with the firm conviction that you need to be careful with your desires and never say them out loud, otherwise they will come true, and it remains to be seen whether this is for good. One day she was standing at the window during a thunderstorm and was struck by lightning. But she didn’t kill her, but again changed her life dramatically. However, did the lightning manage to melt the ice in the heart? Alice Hoffman is a recognized master of a subtle psychological novel.
