No one knows why the ice has come, and no one can stop it. Every day it creeps further across the earth, covering the land in snow and freezing everything in its path. Through this bleached, devastated world, one man pursues the silver-haired girl he loves, as she keeps running - away from her husband; away from the sinister 'warden' who seeks to control her; away from him...

Mysterious, unnerving, and beautifully lyrical, Anna Kavan's Ice is a work of science fiction without parallel.
