⭐ SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025⭐ 'Graceful, atmospheric, enormously satisfying' SARAH JESSICA PARKER, BOOKER JUDGE 2025 'I love The Land in Winter so much... It's really, really, really, really good' GILLIAN ANDERSON 'A classic in the making' ELIZABETH DAY 'One of the best writers at work today' TELEGRAPH 'Has an uncanny beauty and depth' GUARDIAN 'Money, class, love: all of life is in there' SUNDAY TIMES DECEMBER 1962, THE WEST COUNTRY. Local doctor Eric Parry, mulling secrets, sets out on his rounds, while his pregnant wife sleeps on in the warmth of their cottage. Across the field, funny, troubled Rita Simmons is also asleep, her head full of images of a past life her husband prefers to ignore. He's been up for hours, tending to the needs of the small dairy farm where he hoped to create a new version of himself, a project that's already faltering. But when the ordinary cold of an English December gives way to violent blizzards, the two couples find their lives beginning to unravel. WHERE DO YOU HIDE WHEN YOU CAN'T LEAVE HOME? AND WHERE, IN A FROZEN WORLD, CAN YOU RUN TO?

FRANCIS SPUFFORD, author of Golden Hill Praise for Andrew Miller 'Andrew Miller's writing is a source of wonder and delight' HILARY MANTEL 'One of our most skilful chroniclers of the human heart and mind' SUNDAY TIMES 'A writer of very rare and outstanding gifts' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY 'A highly intelligent writer, both exciting and contemplative' THE TIMES 'A wonderful storyteller' SPECTATOR
