A beautifully crafted, acerbic, and moving hymn to a dazed and confused era of American life. In 1973, after a freak winter storm hits an affluent Connecticut suburb, fathers and mothers swap partners, and their children experiment with drugs, sex--even suicide. Into this chaos, two families come face-to-face with emotions seething just below the surface.

"A jolt of a book...prose that is powerful and persuasive ...ahead of Rick Moody lies a splendid career."

A. M. Homes

"Rick Moody's 'The Ice Storm', a bitter and loving and damning tribute to the American family, belongs to the subgenre I think of as suburban Gothic--tidy lawns and two-car garages, all of the vulgar complacencies of affluence, mixed with brooding horror, melodramatic violence, extreme psychological states....'The Ice Storm' is a good book, packed with keen observations and sympathy for human failure."
