'A mesmerising storyteller; this novel is written with intelligence and warmth' The Times
A shy but privileged elder son, Harry Cane has followed convention at every step. Then the beginnings of an affair, and the threat of arrest force him to abandon his wife and child and sign up for emigration to Canada.
Remote and unforgiving, his allotted homestead in a place called Winter is a world away from the golden suburbs of turn-of-the-century Edwardian England. And yet it is here, isolated in a seemingly harsh landscape, under the threat of war and madness that the fight for survival will reveal in Harry an inner strength and capacity for love beyond anything he has ever known before.
'Rich in atmosphere and period detail, from the wardrobe requirements of pioneers to the construction of catalogue-bought houses, this enjoyable tale is both witty and poignant' Daily Mail
'Neatly constructed and written in a prose of beautiful lucidity, Gale's novel offers up an absorbing and often moving story' Sunday Times

'The gift of Patrick Gale is to tell a story with such poise and grace of prose that you are wound deeply around every step of the unfolding tale'
