Title: Music in Winter
Description: Daughter of a well-known actor, and named after Shakespeare’s beguiling Rosalind in ‘As You Like It’, Roz is an impulsive, forgetful, affectionate, hopeful girl. She gets a job as Assistant Stage Manager at the old Comedy, a Victorian theatre in the North. During the long, snowy winter she meets Tom Burrell, laconic journalist and son of the local newspaper owner. He is like the country she’s never known until now, dour - and strong. 
It is announced that the Comedy is to be pulled down to make way for a new road. The theatre company are horrified . . . then Roz discovers that Tom and his newspaper very much approve of the Comedy’s destruction.
What happens to Roz, to Tom Burrell, to the bright throng of theatre folk and to the little theatre on the edge of the vegetable market, is told by Suzanne Ebel in a vivid, often moving book about many different kinds of love.
