'A Song Of Winter' by Andrew James Greig is the chilling and evocative story of an event that changes the world forever. In Edinburgh a warmer than usual winter gives rise to a sudden and significant fall of snow. Disappearing students, disturbing climate research and a government intent on keeping it all secret combine to start a chain of events that Professor Finlay Hamilton cannot stop. His own research into dark matter seems to be playing a part, and he needs to act before it is too late. He must save his wife Jess and young children from what is to come. That means trusting someone from Jess's past, and realising that there is more to Jess than he first thought. As the snow continues unabated, Jess needs to use everything she knows to get her family to safety.
'A Song Of Winter' was compulsive reading - maybe due to the fact that I didn't think it was out-with the realms of possibility that such a scenario might happen. It was beautifully written and kept my attention . I couldn't put it down. It would make an amazing film or TV series.
It is far and away the best book I've read this year. It's an astonishing story of survival and hope against the most terrible of odds.
I was given this ARC to review.
