These are the ingredients of The Weight of Snow, Christian Guay-Poliquin’s riveting new novel.After surviving a major accident, the book’s protagonist is entrusted to Matthias, a taciturn old man who agrees to heal his wounds in exchange for supplies and a chance of escape. The two men become prisoners of the elements and of their own rough confrontation as the centimetres of snow accumulate relentlessly. Surrounded by a nature both hostile and sublime, their relationship oscillates between commiseration, mistrust, and mutual aid. Will they manage to hold out against external threats and intimate pitfalls?Winner – Governor General’s Literary Award for FictionWinner – Prix Littéraire France-QuébecWinner – Prix RinguetWinner – Prix Littéraire des Collégiens
