“The lines of Andrew Miller’s historical novel The Land in Winter fall as peacefully and lethally as snow... in Miller’s exquisitely written book, every scene is hypnotic. Here is a writer of such intimate and insightful prose that stealing away with him for a few hours in another world feels closer to trespassing than reading... The snow will eventually stop falling. The temperature will rise. We know that; [the characters] know that. But when this crisis passes, the land will show what’s been done. That’s the thing about ice—and great writing: As it crystallizes, it grips slowly, quietly, with crushing impact.”
