About this book

Snow closes around a young street musician in London as he counts the ninepence he must take home. Hungry and lost near Soho, he shelters in a doorway and tries to warm his trembling squirrel. This opening gives Hall Caine's novel an immediate concern with poverty and vulnerability, before its setting shifts to Rome and the relationship between Roma and David Rossi.

Their love faces the pressure of exile and an uncertain future. In a room repeatedly lit by a searchlight, they discuss a postponed marriage, exchange promises and struggle with the possibility of separation. Caine's preface explains that this edition reshapes the longer novel around its human relationships and follows the lines of his stage adaptation.
