Winner of a Silver Medal for Fiction from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.(2015) A botanical artist. A university professor with a strange obsession. And a deer hunter. What happens when these three lives intersect and – inevitably – become entangled? Adie and her husband Michael are confirmed city dwellers who enjoy an enviable lifestyle on New York’s Upper East Side. But their settled existence goes awry after she inherits a dilapidated house in the wilds of Canada. In the subsequent clash of cultures, sparks fly, tongues wag and tension builds to a conclusion as powerful as a north-country ice storm. “Probably one of the best novels I have ever read. Script writers should do half as well.” – Harrison Ellenshaw, Los Angeles.
