Snowdrops by A D Miller

Snowdrops by A D Miller

The debut of spring 2011: A stunning novel of moral ambiguity, uncertainty and corruption. 'A tremendously assured, cool, complex, slow-burn of a novel and a bleak and superbly atmospheric portrait of modern Russia.' William Boyd

'A chilling first novel about the slide from relative innocence into amoralityI love the honesty of the writing, and the way the furious cold of a bitter Moscow winter gradually emerges as a character in its own right.' Julie Myerson 'Anybody who has spent any time in Moscow will instantly recognize the city's infamous decadence as well as its attraction in this extraordinarily evocative book - and anybody who has never been there will experience both the lure and the horror of modern Russia.' Anne Applebaum 'Miller's taut narrative is a deft mixture of suspense, intrigue and human tragedy. Romantic love, bad faith, self-delusion, cupidity and corruption are fatally entwined in a novel that brilliantly conveys the tawdriness of life in the underbelly of modern Moscow.' Jonathan Dimbleby
