The Book
1914: Young Anton Heideck has arrived in Vienna, eager to make his name as a journalist. When he encounters Delphine, he is entranced by the light of first love and feels blessed. Until his country declares war on hers.
1927: For Lena, life with a drunken mother in a small town has been impoverished and cold. When her dreams of life in Vienna disappear, she takes a menial job at the snow-bound sanatorium, the Schloss Seeblick.
1933: Anton, now an established writer, is commissioned by a magazine to visit the mysterious Schloss Seeblick.
Sweeping across Europe as it recovers from one war and hides its face from the coming of another, SNOW COUNTRY is a landmark novel of exquisite yearnings, dreams of youth and the sanctity of hope. In elegant, shimmering prose, Sebastian Faulks has produced a work of timeless resonance.
