Season of Ice Diane Les Becquets Books Reviews

This story describes how one young woman, who could be any one of us, deals with a very common but devastating life problem, the loss of a parent. The background and characters are well constructed to support the central theme. The narrative flows smoothly and easily draws the reader into the life of the primary character.
"Season of Ice" is a stunning novel that examines in minute detail the emotional turmoil a young girl named Genesis experiences at the disappearance of her beloved father. Part coming-of-age, part mystery, and thoroughly captivating, the novel crackles with vivid images and emotionally weighty subjects. At the same time the story is an exploration of her external world, the small, rural Maine town in which Genesis lives. Echoing some of the same powerful themes of "The Lovely Bones," Les Becquets' novel is every bit as emotionally wrenching and in prose that sparkles.
"Season of Ice" captures the absolute essence of the total change a grievous loss brings to each particular person's persepective. Genesis, is both introspective and dynamic; she feels and she acts. She exits on two planes after the disappearance of her father.

This book is relevant to persons of any age who are faced wtih change, loss, and survival. Then, the need to move beyond survival. The interior landscape of Genesis is vital and authentic; the exterior setting of this book is real and highlights Genesis' authenticity.
Seventeen-year-old Genesis Sommer is living a normal life.

It's late fall in northern Maine. She goes to school and she has a part time job as a waitress at the Lazy Moose, a local restaurant. She has a stepmother and twins as half-brothers. Her father works at a logging camp, where he stays for long periods of time.

One day her father left for work, dropping her off with her uncle Perry to work on her car. That was the last time Genesis saw him.

The police started looking for Mike Sommer right away. They found his boat on the lake. Then the lake froze over. There is no body as evidence that Mike is dead. Genesis won't believe it until there is proof. Her life has changed now.

The winter is neverending. Genesis hears rumors about her father. She begins to search for herself for the truth about the man she thought she knew everything about.

From the start of this book, I was hooked. Though it is not normally the type of book I would read, I loved it none the less.

Genesis was a great, strong character who was easy to relate to. After hearing the rumors Genesis was told about her father, even I had no idea what happened to him. I was happy with the ending, although I would have liked to have known more about what happens later on. Other than that, SEASON OF ICE was a really good story.

If you ever come across it, you should pick it up.

I live in Northern Maine and it was fun to read about places that I know. The story was great, my only complaint is about the overly detailed description of the search and rescue process. We are reading it for my next book club meeting, I hope they like it as much as I did!
So well written. The author not only gives a voice to the young woman, but makes all that she goes through with the loss of her father full of layers, believable, insightful, an amazing read. Glad I discovered this author
