Reviews

Nicolson makes social history feel like reading the best and most gripping novel. A beautiful, wholly original book
*India Knight*

A brilliant concept transformed into a brilliant and revelatory book. Completely fascinating and engrossing
*William Boyd*

As gripping as any thriller, Frostquake is the story of a national trauma that came out of nowhere and changed us forever. Brilliantly written and almost eerily relevant to our current troubles
*Tony Parsons*

An engagingly written mixture of social history and memoir
*Sunday Times*

Fascinating, quirky and evocative . . . Nicolson takes us right back to that muffled, snowbound world
