The Ice is Singing

ebook
The author of Mr. Wroe's Virgins “writes about a woman writing about writing and gets triumphantly away with it . . . a novel of tremendous readability” (Independent).
 
Driving through the snowbound Yorkshire countryside, stopping at anonymous hotels, Marion is prepared to do anything to escape her memories. She begins to write stories, stories that take her into other people’s lives. But as she is drawn back into her own world, she must face the things that made her long for escape.
 
“A brilliant and concentrated piece of writing.” —The Guardian
 
“Her style is terse and ruthlessly graphic: her attitude is one of implacable honesty.” —Times Literary Supplement.
 
“The writing sings and lives and spins its own magical life.” —Financial Times
