A Place Called Winter: Costa Shortlisted 2015

'Written in prose of beautiful lucidity...a tender tale of loss and love' Sunday Times Harry Cane has followed tradition at every step, until an illicit affair forces him to abandon the golden suburbs of Edwardian England and travel to the town of Winter in the newly colonised Canadian prairies. There, isolated in a beautiful but harsh landscape, Harry embarks on an extraordinary journey, not only of physical hardship, but also of acute self-discovery. 'Gale's confident, supple prose expresses the labour and hardship that toughen Harry's body as they calm his mind...Harry Cane is one of many, the disappeared who were not wanted by their families or their societies and whose stories were long shrouded with shame. This fascinating novel is their elegy' The Guardian 'Gale's novels are imbued with clear-eyed psychological truths navigating the emotional landscape of characters it is impossible not to care about deeply. Sensitive and compelling' Irish Times 'A mesmerising storyteller; this novel is written with intelligence and warmth' The Times Twitter @PNovelistGale www.tinderpress.co.uk www.headline.co.uk www.galewarning.org FICTION £7.99 TINDER PRESS (logo) Ebook & Audio logo 9781472205315 von Gale, Patrick
