The Silent Land

World Fantasy Award nominee 2011, British Fantasy Award nominee 2011.

The haunting new literary fantasy from the (actual) author of Memoirs of a Master Forger

A young couple are caught in an avalanche during a skiing holiday in the French Alps. They struggle back to the village and find it deserted. As the days go by they wait for rescue, then try to leave. But each time they find themselves back in the village. And, increasingly, they are plagued by visions and dreams and the realization that perhaps no-one could have survived the avalanche.

The Silent Land is a brooding and tender look at love and whether it can survive the greatest challenge we will ever face.
