The Sky in Silver Lace is the third book about the Melling sisters. Like Dresses of Red and Gold, it is very episodic, more like a collection of sequential short stories, and the season is a thematic thread tying them together.
Even taking into account that the story is set during winter, I thought it was surprisingly bleak. The girls have moved to the city with their mother; their accommodation is temporary, money is tight, their mother is stressed and their father is absent. There are small triumphs and moments of hope - particularly at the end - but I was left feeling like their happiness was fragile, even if the girls themselves didn't realise that.
And now I am sad that there isn't a fourth book about the Melling girls and spring, because I think it is needed.
The banks of a lake ought to be picturesque, she thought, deciding that all her trudging hadn't been worth the effort. Even the sand was greyish, strewn with ugly purple shells and rank seaweed. You couldn't paddle, either, even if it had been warm enough to do so. The water was quite deep close to the bank and didn't look inviting at all. It just lurked there, almost motionless, like fog.( )
