Guardian's Best Fiction of the Year
One of the most original and exciting writers working in English today, Jhumpa Lahiri has been hailed as a literary sensation. Her novel, Very Cold People, is a haunting portrayal of a small town in Massachusetts, where secrets and silence lurk beneath the surface.
Set in the unforgiving landscape of Waitsfield, the novel delves into the dark history of the town and the harm that has been endured by its residents. Ruthie, the protagonist, learns the truth about her family and the town's past, and how silence often masks a legacy of violence.
Through her vivid and evocative writing, Lahiri explores the suffocating constraints of growing up in a very old, and very cold, small town. The novel offers a vital confrontation with an all-American whiteness, where the ice of emotional restraint meets the embers of smouldering rage.
Very Cold People has been praised by critics for its chilling effect and its deep impression on the reader. It has been longlisted for the Wingate Prize 2023, a prestigious literary award.
In conclusion, Jhumpa Lahiri's Very Cold People is a masterclass in unease, offering a haunting portrayal of a small town in Massachusetts and its dark history. The novel's vivid writing and powerful exploration of themes make it a must-read for anyone who loves literary fiction.
