Solace in Winter is the new novel from Mary Lawson, the author of Crow Lake and A Town Called Solace. It returns to the small Canadian town of Solace, and reads perfectly well on its own.
It is deep winter, 1969, and young men are slipping across the border to dodge the Vietnam draft. Widower Jack's quiet life is upended by two accidents on the bend into town, first a badly hurt dog, then a seriously injured draft-dodger, and slowly his cabin fills with new people and their troubles, until his visiting daughter takes a dim view of what she finds.
Quiet, warm and beautifully observed, the kind of novel you sink right into.
'A masterpiece.' Joanne Harris
For readers of Elizabeth Strout, Anne Tyler and Kent Haruf.
