书籍简介

这是继《秋天》入围布克奖之后，“季节性”周期的下一部小说

冬天呢?暗淡。土如铁，水如石，老歌是这样唱的。但是冬天让一切都变得清晰可见。圣诞节是一个家庭团聚、意外客人和永恒真理的日子。

现在是康沃尔的十二月，阿特的母亲正在看东西。艺术也有问题。他的女朋友已经离开了，所以他付钱给Lux，一个他在街上找到的年轻移民，来冒充她——但是Lux并不打算按照剧本来。阿特的浪子姑姑、70多岁的CND-er和家里的“败家子”艾里斯(Iris)就要来了，她开着一辆装满食物的车，喉咙里塞满了抗议歌曲。四个人，陌生人和家人，在一个有15间卧室的房子里过圣诞节——有足够的空间容纳每个人吗?

温特用愉快的目光扫过了一个阴暗的后真相时代，这个时代的故事根植于历史、艺术、爱与记忆、抗议与生存。

Dark yet life-affirming, endlessly inventive and heart-breakingly human - the next novel in the 'Seasonal' cycle, following the Man Booker-shortlisted Autumn

Winter? Bleak. Earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. But winter makes things visible. And Christmas is a time for family reunions, unexpected guests and evergreen truths.

It's December in Cornwall and Art's mother is seeing things. Art has problems too. His girlfriend has left so he's paying Lux, a young immigrant he found on the street, to impersonate her - but Lux has no intention of sticking to the script. And Iris, Art's prodigal aunt, septuagenarian CND-er and black sheep of the family, is about to arrive with a car full of food and a throat full of protest songs. Four people, strangers and family, in a fifteen-bedroom house for Christmas - will there be enough room for everyone?

Winter casts a merry eye over a bleak post-truth era with a story rooted in history, art, love and memory, protest and survival.
