Ice by Anna Kavan
Can the truth thaw Chrissa's frozen heart?It's been three years since Chrissa's father walked out of her life. Too angry even to speak to her mother, Chrissa is obsessed with finding the answers to her questions: Why did her father leave? Why does she never hear from him? And is it somehow her fault, for not being the daughter he wanted her to be?
Now, unable to deal with Chrissa's silence, her mother has sent her away from New York City home to spend a year in the country with her grandmother. Perhaps in Gram's house, in the rural community which her father grew up, Chrissa will discover the secret of his disappearance.
Instead, Chrissa finds more secrets and suspicions. And, surprisingly, she finds strength she never knew she had. Strength she will need when she must confront the most devastating secret of all.
Anna Kavan was one of the most enigmatic figures in British writing during the twentieth century. Born Helen Ferguson, she had a tumultuous life and two unsuccessful marriages, prompting her to adopt the name of one of her characters. Although spending most of her life battling mental illness and heroin addiction, she was nevertheless able to write fiction that was as strong and unforgettable as any English female writer of the previous 150 years.
