In the Deep Midwinter

by Robert Clark

In the Deep Midwinter Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

November, 1949: In the aftermath of his brother James's death, Richard MacEwan's life is suddenly rocked by secrets involving his wife Sarah and daughter Anna. Among his bachelor brother's papers, Richard discovers a letter from Sarah that hints at an infidelity. Then there is Anna's affair with a married man, Charles Norden, which threatens to change her life forever. The story of Richard, Sarah, Anna, and Charles--along with the troubling legacy of James--is one of faith and doubt, profound moral and spiritual conflict, and the intricate bonds that hold families together.

Review:

"This novel deserves a wide readership and will especially appeal to sophisticated readers on whom Clark's rich imagery will not be lost." Library Journal

"In the Deep Midwinter comes along at a time when people have stopped talking about The Great American Novel. That's too bad, because this just might be it." Kate Tuttle, The Boston Book Review

Review:

"It has been a long time since the last American novel of such compassion, intelligence, and maturity." Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

Review:

"Clark unfolds the story's moral dramas with rare assurance and grownup charity...." Pico Iyer, Time magazine
