Review:
'How simple this novel is. How subtle. How strong. How unlike any other. It is unique. It is unforgettable. It is extraordinary.' --Doris Lessing, The Independent
'It is hard to do justice to 'The Ice Palace'... the narrative is urgent, the descriptions relentlessly beautiful, the meaning as powerful as the ice piling up on the lake.' --The Times
'Austere poetical clarity, stoical wisdom and a vivid response to nature.' --Times Literary Supplement
