'One of my all-time favourite writers... utterly captivating' GRAHAM NORTON
'A beauty of a book' RACHEL JOYCE
'A masterpiece' JOANNE HARRIS

Winter in the small Canadian town of Solace is a season of hibernation. But this year, the snowfall brings a series of accidental encounters that will shake up the lives and loves of some of its oldest and newest inhabitants

It is deep winter, 1969. As the Vietnam War drives young men north across the Canadian border, widower Jack's quiet life is overturned by two accidents that happen on the bend in the road into town. First comes a dog in a bad way. Next a draft-dodger, seriously injured, lying in the snow. Suddenly, Jack's cabin is busy with a growing cast of characters - and all the baggage, dreams and desires they're carrying.

But the atmosphere chills when Jack's daughter Sally drops by one day and doesn't like what she sees...

This exquisite snow globe of a novel is a refuge, a story of connection and moral complexity set in the beloved world of Mary Lawson's bestselling, prizewinning Crow Lake, The Other Side of the Bridge, Road Ends and A Town Called Solace.
