gripping novel. A beautiful, wholly original book

A brilliant concept transformed into a brilliant and revelatory
book. Completely fascinating and engrossing

As gripping as any thriller, Frostquake is the story of a national
trauma that came out of nowhere and changed us forever. Brilliantly
written and almost eerily relevant to our current troubles

An engagingly written mixture of social history and memoir

Fascinating, quirky and evocative . . . Nicolson takes us right
back to that muffled, snowbound world
