The Ice Road by Gillian Slovo
Leningrad. 1933. Loyalties, beliefs, love and family ties: all are about to be tested to the limit in a fight to see who will survive one of the most crushing moments the world will ever know. Boris Ivanov, the father who understands politics and pragmatism; his daughter Natasha, a carefree, delightful girl who will be almost crushed because of political compromises; Anton, Boris's oldest friend, who in an uncharacteristic moment saves a skinny little orphan he finds on the Moscow train; Anna, that tough intriguing child. And watching it all is the marvellous Irina. Wry, wise, ironic, Irina understands that simple loyalty to an individual may well be more powerful than blind loyalty to an idea. Exciting and heroic, bittersweet and compelling, Ice Road is magnificent.
Gillian Slovo is the author of a family memoir, Every Secret Thing, and nine novels, the most recent of which is Red Dust. Born in South Africa, she and her family were exiled to Britain in 1966. She has lived in London ever since, with frequent trips back to South Africa.
