Welcome to one hell of a Christmas...Fancy getting snowed in with your family over Christmas? No. Neither did the Thorne family. But that's what happens when, on Christmas Eve, the remote village where they've gathered together gets cut off by the worst winter storms of two hundred and fifty years. Temperatures plummet. Winds howl at ninety miles an hour. Snowdrifts pile high and freeze. Roads become impassable. Electricity and telephone wires frost over and snap. And in a communication black hole where mobile phones don't work, there's no way out till the thaw sets in...The Three Day Rule is a moving, funny and ultimately optimistic story about a family riddled with secrets who are literally forced into facing up to their problems with each other and themselves. Get to know a family you're never going to forget...
