“Andrew Miller’s new novel is set in the rural West Country during the longest and coldest British winter of 1962-63. The story depicts the lives of its four main characters (two sets of couples), lives of surface ordinariness, yet Miller captures an intensely imagined sense of emotional depths beneath... The writing is masterful, and the prose has all the richness and evocativeness of poetry. Like all great novels, it stays with you long after the final page has turned. Read slowly, if you can, to savour this work of desolate beauty.”
