4 stars
It is the year 2020 and as the artic ice melts due to global warming, the temperatures began to drop and the coldest winter on record is expected. Stella and her mother, Constance, live in an isolated caravan park in the northern reaches of Scotland. Stella recently accepted her life as a girl, after being known to her small community as a boy her entire life. Her survivalist mother has the skills to survive this ice age if her romantic entanglements don't get in the way. Dylan has recently moved into his deceased mother's caravan and is learning to deal with his grief after the rapid loss of his beloved grandmother and mother. These three individuals are thrown together as they try to stay warm and help Stella become who she is supposed to be. This book is an intriguing mix of speculative fiction and relevant issues and while slow at times, make for a compelling look at a not-too-unbelievable future. I received this book from the LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
