Winter Song

‘Beautiful’ Claire Fuller

‘Magnificent’ Adam Johnson

‘Impressive’ Tracy Chevalier

‘A wondrous debut by a major talent’ Kevin Wilson

It is 1986, deep winter, in the hinterlands of Minnesota, a place so remote that the world beyond its borders barely registers. Two men face each other down across this frozen landscape: Byron Lugo, just released from prison for a hit-and-run he swears he didn’t commit, and Gordon Trent, the weary police chief who brought him in.

As Byron struggles to claw back his old life in a town convinced of his guilt, his determination forces Trent to assess his judgement, his choices, and ultimately his legacy.

WINTER SONG is a snow globe of a novel, a light in the dark: a reminder of our humanity, even in the harshest of places.

‘A moving, atmospheric portrayal of small-town America. What an impressive debut’ Tracy Chevalier

‘A gritty and unsparing portrait of a snow-blasted wonderland painted with exquisite tenderness and generosity. Morales mines the magical and transcendent from otherwise ordinary moments, filling the lives of her characters – and her readers – with the hard-won possibility of grace. A magnificent novel and an unforgettable debut’ Adam Johnson

‘This is a book I needed right now, because it doesn’t deny the ugliness of the world, but it reminded me of the good humans are capable of. Morales writes with a gritty earnestness that puts her in the good company of Elizabeth Strout’ Benjamin Percy
