À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The mountain is huge and histories collect under it. Bend was a crossing point before it was a settlement before it was a logging town before it was an outdoor-sports destination, but everywhere's always only a crossing point.

That's where they found her.

''A remarkable novel: atmospheric, beautiful, and delightfully intelligent. Its sentences sparkle with energy. Think The Secret History written by Raven Leilani. I devoured it and am left wanting more!' Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days

'A glittering, dark-edged tale . . . Exhilarating and fabulous, I raced through it.'
Priscilla Morris, author of Black Butterflies

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

In one of America's Happiest Cities, thirty-eight-year-old Elen is trapped under the shadow of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains. Her husband has left her. Her belongings are in the boot of her car. Her days are filled mostly with silence and drinking. When she meets four English teenagers in an empty bar, she is enamoured.

Luka, Clover, George and Lyn are wealthy squatters, drifting between ski resorts and breaking into empty AirBnBs. When they bring Elen into their fold - and into their messy, entangled relationships - she senses a violent secret that fuels the four's never-ending disappearing act.

Dazzling, cultish, and intensely committed to creating their own utopia, they force Elen to ruminate on the irresistible pull of bright young things.

She doesn't understand what they want from her, but how can she leave when she has nowhere else to go?

A dark meditation on the dangers and seductive power of youthful idealism, and the slippages between friendship and love, Winter Animals is an extraordinary debut examining freedom, friendship, desire and excess.
