Praise for Snow Country

A yearning, wistful, lovelorn novel, intent on exploring the price of being human.

Sunday Times

Faulks on his best form.

Telegraph

Fascinating . . . impeccably researched . . . At the heart of this rich, dark story, however, is not politics but psychology . . . Faulks's committed fans will be left looking forward to the next instalment of this thought-provoking trilogy.

The Times

A magnificent, moving novel.

Independent

A tale of love - lost and found - and the strength of the human spirit.

Sunday Telegraph
