Marooned in the snow stories

[Leggytigberk]

For the winter I want to read stories about severe winter. One easy read is Sylvester by Georgette Heyer. A humble country pub on The Bath Road, deep snow, impassable road, titled visitor with one servant.
Any suggestions of titles please? Dickens? Any of the family sagas? Cynthia Harrod-Eagles?

There is the train in the snow in Orient Express. Any other trains?

The Shining

Oh, Is it a thing? I'm the same, can't get enough snow and isolation, absolutely craving them.
The Ice People, Barjavel and White Fang, J London.

For a spooky feel Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Or Thin Air by same author.

The Hunting Party - Lucy Foley

Twelve Days of Christmas - Trisha Ashley

Miracle in the andes by nando parrado. totally recommend

True stories try South about Shackleton's Endurance epic story, or Alone in the Ice about Douglas Mawson. Nothing cosier than reading stories of (some) survival in the Antarctic from the safety of a warm bed with a cup of tea!

These are pretty much the scariest books I have ever read. Not constant, intense scares but just so creepy!

A Mystery In White, by J Jefferson Farjeon. A 1930's re-release by British Library Publishing.
Snow✅
Train ✅
Christmas ✅

The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie - takes place in a Dartmoor village cut off by snow.

Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow, by Peter Høeg.

It's a children's/young adult's book but 'Children of Winter' by Bernie Doherty.

The wolves of willoughby chase by Joan aiken

Farmer Boy and The Long Winter by laura ingalls wilder

Agatha Christie - The Sittaford Mystery

The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton - mother and her deaf daughter in the Alaskan wilderness on a quest and being pursued.

Ooh great subject for a book thread

Snow Blind by Ragnar Jonasson

Snow falling on cedars by David Guterson

These are both brilliant!

I was going to suggest Children of Green Knowe which always seems like a wintery book to me. But everyone else has gone for serious books instead.

Murder in the crooked house, by Soji Shimada

A Japanese locked room murder mystery set in a snow bound house.

Just read Dark Matter tonight and was going to suggest it if no one else had! Not super scary but nice and creepy

Laura Ingalls Wilder - The Long Winter

Kate Fenton's The Colours of Snow is a beautiful gentle romance with a snowstorm in it.

The North Water by Ian McGuire has a long grim battle for survival in the Arctic in the second half of the book. I now know how to survive in similar circumstances although the solution is pretty drastic

Snow. By John Banville. Country house murder mystery, loved it.
