Thin Ice by Christine Quintana
Thin Ice is a disturbing voyage across the frozen surface of a lake that provokes memories of times too hot and cold, unearths fossils and ghosts, and conjures future memories of the places we love. What will climate change look like in our most precious places, and what dreams does the future hold?
