ABANDONED. Girl finds man in snow with no memory

[Fiona]

She drives in the snow and crashes on a bridges hitting a naked man. It turns out he has no memory. She takes him home, and while teaching him everything she falls in love. She lives together with her father who is a painter. Can somebody please help me find the title and writer?

[Mir]

Do you recall if this were labeled as a romance or a mystery? How long ago did you read it?

[Lee Anne]

This sounds a bit like The Wrong Reflection. I don't remember her father, but this book at least has a similar start.

[Fiona]

It's more like a thriller, fantasy, scifi. I read it December last, but it wasn't a new book.
The boy/man is totally blank and learns very fast. Her father used to be a painter but lost his interest, or has a burn out/"paintersblock", and thanks to the boy he starts painting again.
Thanks for your replies!

[Fiona]

Lee Anne: thanks, but it's not the book I try to find.

[Claire]

I remember reading a really good thriller a while back, but it was YA fiction, and the cover had a silhouette with footprints in the snow, and it was called "Frozen Fire" by Tim Bowler.

[Kris]

Here's the link for Claire's suggestion: Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler.

[Kris]

A guess - "In the Flesh" by Julia Barrett? http://www.amazon.com/Flesh-The-Soul-...

[Fiona]

Kris, thanks, it's almost exactly like In the Flesh, but I think it isn't the book I mean.
Her father really plays a big part, and the boy doesn't fall from the sky. But the hit, the snow, the ex .. its all similar. I don't think she is a doctor, and his name isn't Wolf. She names him a very normal name, like Mark (as far as I remember).
It is really a thriller, and I don't want to spoil anything, but you think the boy is creepy .. :-)

[Fiona]

I also read in the reviews that the readers hope their love-story continues in the sequel, but that is in this book impossible.

[Kris]

Fiona, do you remember what the heroine does for a living?
Does she live in a big city or...?
Sounds like the story is written for adults, not YA?

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Fiona--don't worry about spoilers. This group almost requires them, since those are often what causes someone's mind to click and say, "I know that book. It's XXX."

If you are still worried about spoilers, you can put them in and have them hidden. (view spoiler)[Type <*spoiler> the body of the spoiler <*/spoiler> and it's all there, but hidden. (hide spoiler)]

[Fiona]

Kris and Ann: thanks.
The heroine lives outside a small village, she must always drive over a dangerous bridge, where the accident happens. I don't remember what she does for a living.

I remember about the boy/man (I think they are in their late 20ies) that he also can't speak, but when she starts talking to him he picks it up amazingly fast.
He's totally blank, no amnesia, but like a newborn.

That sounds really cool! Just randomly commenting hehe...

[Fiona]

:-D

[Tab]

Fiona, do you remember anything about the cover?

[Fiona]

I'm trying to remember .. but I have no idea .. :-(

[Fiona]

I just can't stand why I can't remember it, so here the spoilers:

(view spoiler)[
The girl takes the boy home and start teaching him everything. He is especially interested in the paintings of her father and starts copying them. He does that with such a precision it's scary. And he copies a lot of other things very acurate. It turns out, and that is the big spoiler, that is how the book ends: the father starts painting himself again and doesn't need a copy cat. And for more reasons of course: he orders his daughter to make him go away. She does, but smiles, because the next one is already on his way. (hide spoiler)]

[Ann aka Iftcan]

You need to remove * to get it to work Fiona. Gah, can't believe I forgot to put that into my directions. I always remember to put in the part about removing the *. Sorry.

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Next one what Fiona? Next person to get her Dad to painting or something?

[Fiona]

No .. okay, now I'm trying the spoiler thing again:
(view spoiler)[The next boyfriend. It turns out she makes them up and they become real. Her father is the only one who knows about it. (hide spoiler)]

[Fiona]

It works! Thanks Ann, learning every day .. :-)

[Kris]

Good spoiler! :) And by that, I mean it sounds like an interesting story.

[Cheryl]

Here's a free 'bump' for fall. Come back in a few months to bump again, ok? Otherwise, as we do housekeeping on threads, we might conclude that this thread has been 'abandoned' and move it to the Abandoned folder.

[Fiona]

I'm sorry, English is not my first language. What is a free bump for fall? Bump again in a few months?
What am I supposed to do?
Thanks in advance, kind regards,
Fiona

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

Cheryl means she is pushing your request to the top of the queue. You don't have to do anything now since she just "bumped" the thread. Yes, you should "bump" the thread (make a comment which pushes it to the top of the queue) in a few months.

[CLM]

I have a vague recollection of The Colours of Snow. Does it sound familiar?

[Fiona]

Cheryl and Lobstergirl: thanks, I get it! :-)
CLM: Some things are really familiar, but it still isn't the book I'm trying to find. Thanks anyway!!

[Fiona]

Izabelle Jardin - the snow angel: I think this is it. But there is another mystery: I do not read or speak German??!!
And I can't find any translations (of the book) ..

[Kris]

What clues make you think Snow Angel: Roman is your book? The cover art?

[Fiona]

No, the story line. But I guess it's not the book. On the cover there's a bridge with snow a car and a boy/man.

[Kris]

Here is Google's English preview of Snow Angel --

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

Fiona, was "Snow Angel" your book or are you still looking?

[Kris]

No response, moving to Abandoned folder.
