''One of the wittiest books about family life ever written'' Guardian

''A hilarious, remarkable and beautiful book'' Jeffrey Eugenides

''A blackly funny and beautifully written novel'' Sunday Times
Suburban New England, and the Hood family are about to wish they''d stayed home....

1973 - ''The last year of the sixties'' as the author describes it. Amidst the worst storm for 30 years the local families gather for a party - the highlight of which is the wife-swapping ''key game'' - and for two couples this supposedly harmless piece of liberal-minded entertainment spells permanent disaster.
Astutely acerbic, painfully funny, The Ice Storm is an astonishing novel of the decade that taste forgot.
