|summary=In the early years of the 20th Century, Harry Cane is a man bound by duty and the constraints of society. Exiled to Canada, he finds himself amongst the barren landscapes and harsh winters, and encounters a happiness that is only threatened by the rapidly approaching war, and the machinations of an evil man. In his first real foray into historical fiction, Gale uses the Canadian plains as the backdrop to a stunning new novel. The characters leap off the page and dive well into the mind, making this not only on a par with his contemporary novels, but easily one of his finest.

Patrick Gale has a substantial backlist, and several of his books have been bestsellers - [[Notes From An Exhibition by Patrick Gale|Notes From an Exhibition]], ''The Whole Day Through'', and ''A Perfectly Good Man'' the most recent. ''A Place Called Winter'' is his latest, and is his first full length novel that delves into the realm of historical fiction.

It may not surprise you that I'm recommending something else by Patrick Gale, but [[Notes From An Exhibition by Patrick Gale|Notes From an Exhibition]] is an excellent read. Whilst very different in terms of tone and setting to ''A Place Called Winter'', both are detailed studies in the psychology of their characters, and both are gripping reads.
