A Winter’s Rime Receives 2024 WLA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fiction
A Winter’s Rime is a poignant, beautifully written, and deeply felt exploration of human trauma. Like the icy coating of the novel’s title, Dunbar’s story of emotional survival is sharp, both in its depiction of a winter landscape and in its focus on the winter of the soul. Although Dunbar never flinches from offering difficult truths, in the end, A Winter’s Rime is a memorable and moving story of healing and hope. ”
