Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award 1995 and the American Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award Gripping, tragic, and densely atmospheric-a masterpiece of suspense which leaves us shaken and changed. It has a permanent place on my shelves, but it might be one I need to dig out again to refresh on the details. There was so much regret present, intermingled with tragedy. ![]() The snow, so deep and never-ending, is one of the things I remember solidly from this novel. This is a story that is as simple as it is complex deeply atmospheric in its isolated setting. Both the film and the novel are stunning.
