Reviews
There were some very good novels this year, but they came from surprising directions. It is astonishing that one as original as Kate Barker-Mawjee's The Coldest Place on Earth (Conrad Press, GBP9.99) couldn't find a major publisher. A friend recommended this wonderfully controlled and evocatively written novel about a heart coming to life in the depths of Siberia. Philip Hensher - The Spectator. --- A sad tale's best for winter, and tales don't come more wintry than Kate Barker-Mawjee's debut novel The Coldest Place on Earth (Conrad Press, GBP9.99), set in a remote Siberian town whose only claim to fame is its record-breaking sub-zero temperatures. These are regularly reported to Moscow from its weather station by Irina, the manager of the local motel, who is trapped in a marriage as frozen and failing as the town itself. This may sound forbiddingly bleak, but Irina's fears and dreams are so vividly evoked that I found the book unputdownable and unforgettable. Francis Wheen - The Spectator.
