The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller

Winter 1962. As Britain becomes engulfed in one the coldest and longest winters on record, the lives of two newly married couples are changed in surprising and irrevocable ways.

With each new novel, Andrew Miller revitalises the form and takes the reader to extraordinary new placesHis work is truly exploratory, never still in its ambition or human dynamics. There's always immense sensuality, disquiet, drama and wisdom in his books, but The Land in Winter is outstandingly beautiful and immersive in its storytelling. It's disruptive and graceful beyond anything I've read or could hope to write. He is the novelists' lodestar -- Sarah Hall, author of BURNTCOAT
I loved it from the first line. The Land in Winter is going to be such an important book - one that we need now. The relentless dignity and vulnerability of ordinary work in the aftermath of horror - the eggs still need scrambling and the cows milking no matter what - and the rough and awkward work of love as part of the same picture feels absolutely essential. It was gently and startlingly beautiful -- Jenn Ashworth, author of GHOSTED
The Land in Winter is a wondrous novel about the interior lives of the occupants of two marriages, set in the intensely realised physical world they inhabit. Andrew Miller's talent is to allow us into their world - into their houses and into their minds - so that we see them both as young marrieds in an English village in the coldest winter of the twentieth century and as souls passing through the snowstorms of time -- Tim Pears, author of The West Country Trilogy
A beautifully written, slow-burn portrait of a moment and place in time, it excavates the intricacies of the human heart -- Editor's Choice * The Bookseller *
