Hunters in the Snow

Hunters in the Snow is a brilliant debut. Its investigations into the individual’s relationship to history call to mind the best of Sebald. – Kevin Powers * author of The Yellow Birds *
A remarkably intelligent debut – Lucian Robinson * Observer *
It draws you in, lights up dark corners playfully, supposes all kinds of things about how we remember, record or forget. It’s also very located. The bass line, so to speak, is a very particular part of England, with characters who stick like burrs to the imagination. – Helen Dunmore * author of The Siege *
A remarkable debut… it’s an expansive and ambitious book that has echoes of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. * Shortlist *
Daisy Hilyard’s skill has been to weave all the disparate elements into a seamlessly structured and utterly absorbing investigation of our relationship with the past. – Rachel Hore * Independent on Sunday *
Ms Hilyard’s wit, along with her polish, send a promising signal for the future. * Scotsman *
Cleverly deploying all the conventions of non-fiction. – Francesca Angelini * Sunday Times *
As Hildyard’s story unfolds, the lives of ordinary parents, grandparents and great-grandparents become as pertinent, captivating and touching as any official history of England could be. * Fabric *
Makes for interesting reading. – Kathy Stevenson * Daily Mail *
An ambitious, almost impossibly wide-ranging book… Where the novel is most original is in tone. If a good writer is someone who matches style to subject, this novel is very prosing indeed. – Andrew Marszal * Daily Telegraph *
