Astonishes with poetic brilliance * Sunday Telegraph *
There is nothing else like it... This ice is not psychological or metaphysical ice; here the loneliness of childhood has been magicked into a physical reality as hallucinatory as the Ancient Mariner's. -- Doris Lessing
One of the most mysterious of modern writers, Anna Kavan created a uniquely fascinating fictional world. Few contemporary novelists could match the intensity of her vision -- J. G. Ballard
One of the most terrifying postulations about the end of the world.. One can only admire the strength and courage of this visionary -- The Times
Brutal, addictive and extremely entertaining... strange, unsettling and harsh * Guardian *
Serious, evocative and surprising, unique in its obsessive images of encroachment -- Christopher Priest
Now, I can tell you about some women writers who truly are fantastic. One is Anna Kavan...she's not hung up with being a woman, she just keeps extending herself, keeps telescoping language and plot. -- Patti Smith * Penthouse *
Ice is superbly unsettling... this novel is perfect winter reading. -- James Marriott * The Times *
Just the most magnificent book...hugely enigmatic, a genuine novel of the unconscious and a masterpiece. I feel very passionate about it, as you can probably tell. -- Frank Tallis * The Guardian *
