A pursuit across a frozen world

Anna Kavan’s dystopian novel brings together a search for a white-haired girl and a landscape transformed by catastrophe. The post-apocalyptic setting makes the frozen terrain central to the book’s exploration of dislocation, while the publisher description also identifies sexual assault and climate catastrophe among its concerns. Its blend of dystopian and climate fiction places the search within a world shaped by environmental collapse.
