About the Book

The Ice Storm

the year is 1973. As a freak winter storm bears down on an exclusive, affluent suburb in Connecticut, cars skid out of control, fathers and mothers swap partners, and their children experiment with sex, drugs, and even suicide. Here two families, the Hoods and the Williamses, come face-to-face with the seething emotions behind the well-clipped lawns of their lives—in a novel widely hailed as a funny, acerbic, and moving hymn to a dazed and confused era of American life.
