Set in the near future, "The Ice People" imagines an ice age enveloping the Northern Hemisphere. It is Africa's relative warmth that offers a last hope to northerly survivors. As relationships between men and women break down, the novel charts one man's struggle to save his alienated son and bring him to the south and to salvation.

Maggie Gee is the author of "The White Family," shortlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and "The Flood," longlisted for the Orange Prize. She is the first female chair of the Royal Society of Literature and lives in London.

Review:
"Excellentintelligent, driven, imaginative, obsessive yet still gracious,one of our best."--Fay Weldon "She writes elegantly, unsentimentally, expertly: Martin Amis once said Gee was the only female author of his generation he would bother to read."--The Independent "Astonishingly multi-layered. It can be read as contemporary satire, as a terrifying view of a possible future, as an analysis of the widening gulf between men and women, but especially as a rattling good page-turning yarn."--George Melly
