We’re thrilled that Alison Stine’s Road Out of Winter [Sept. 1, MIRA] has been awarded its second starred review! Raves Booklist of the book about an endless winter and a girl who will travel through Appalachia in search of family and survival:
⭐“An excellent feminist dystopian novel of survival, desperation and, ultimately, hope… Sublimely written.”
—Booklist, starred review
And to refresh your memory of the first starred review, from Library Journal (it’s another good one):
⭐”Stine blends a rural thriller and speculative realism into what could be called dystopian noir. The author’s vision is profoundly moving, as distressing as Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone but liable to inspire real-world action…. Readers searching for a novel fueled by fierce intelligence and empathy will find here a celebration of humanity, and a warning against its loss.”
