À propos de cet audio
Winner of the inaugural Novel Prize, an elegant and subtle exploration of the mysteries of our relationships to others
A mother and daughter travel from abroad to meet in Tokyo. They walk along the canals through the autumn evenings, escape the typhoon rains, share meals in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries to see some of the city’s most radical modern art. All the while, they talk: about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But uncertainties abound. Who is really speaking here - is it only the daughter? And what is the real reason behind this elliptical, perhaps even spectral journey?
At once a careful reckoning and an elegy, Cold Enough for Snow questions whether any of us speak a common language, which dimensions can contain love, and what claim we have to truly know another’s inner world.
Selected from more than 1,500 entries, Cold Enough for Snow won the Novel Prize, a new, biennial award offered by New Directions, Fitzcarraldo Editions (UK), and Giramondo (Australia), for any novel written in English that explores and expands the possibilities of the form.

Quiet, introspective novel on memory and family
Jessica Au's novella is a quiet meditation on memory and family, set in Japan during a moody October. The book follows the travels of the protagonist and her mother during a trip to Japan, while the protagonist reflects on memories.
Unfortunately the audiobook is let down by the narrator. Her performance is fine, but it's enormously frustrating that a book like this, written in first person with an Australian protagonist, is read by an non-Australian narrator. It definitely subtracts from the personal feeling of the novel.
