Set in a world blanketed by snow as the result of an environmental disaster, Wivenhoe explores complicity, love, loyalty, and the boundaries of human instinct.

Their journey reflects themes of longing and the passage of time against a backdrop of changing urban landscapes.

To understand Americans' contemporary struggles with diversity, this complex imperial history is essential.
