‘A most uncozy mystery that addresses the unbalanced power dynamics of men and women, rich and poor’ NPR (an NPR Book of the Year)
Maine, 1789: When a man is found entombed in the frozen Kennebec River, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death.
As the local midwife and healer, Martha is good at keeping secrets. Her diary is a record of every birth, death and debacle that unfolds in the town of Hallowell. In that diary she has also documented the details of an alleged rape committed by one of the town’s most esteemed gentlemen – the same man who has now been found dead in the ice.
While certain townspeople are eager to put both matters to rest, Martha suspects that the two crimes are linked, and that there is more to both cases than meets the eye. Over the course of one long, hard winter, whispers and prejudices mount, and Martha’s diary lands at the centre of the scandal, threatening to tear both her family and her community apart.
The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense and tender story of an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice on behalf of those no one else would protect.
'Extraordinary’ Natasha Lester
‘Brilliantly atmospheric’ Hannah Richell
‘Fans of Outlander’s Claire Fraser will enjoy Lawhon’s Martha’ Washington Post

批評家のレビュー
‘Lawhon creates a stirring portrait of a real-life heroine … A vivid, exciting page-turner from one of our most interesting authors of historical fiction.’
‘Lawhon (Code Name Hélène) draws from the diary of an 18th-century midwife for the stirring story of one woman’s quest for justice … Lawhon combines modern prose with the immediacy of her source material, making for an accessible and textured narrative. This accomplished historical powerfully speaks to centuries-old inequities that remain in the present day.’
‘With exquisite prose and gripping immediacy, Ariel Lawhon recreates the extraordinary story of Martha Ballard, a real-life yet little-known midwife and healer in Maine who kept a diary in the years after the American Revolution. The Frozen River is so vivid, so textured and multi-layered that I felt I’d opened a door and entered post-revolutionary America, walking beside Lawhon’s compelling characters in a time and place riven by hardship, disease, and misogyny, but also intense love and searing natural beauty. This novel was unlike anything I’d read before, and it left me awe-struck.’ (Lauren Belfer, New York Times bestselling author of Ashton Hall)
‘What could be better than a well-researched historical murder mystery, with a strong and feisty woman at its centre … Remarkable.’
‘Ariel Lawhon always knows how to tell a complex, fascinating historical tale about real women from history who had no idea they were heroes, but whose lives were extraordinary. Love, birth, murder, family and women’s daily travails all come together seamlessly in a book whose characters you won't want to part from after the final chapter.’ (Natasha Lester, bestselling author of The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard)
‘A riveting story of small-town justice and a fitting tribute to a quiet, determined heroine.’ (Shelf Awareness (starred review))
‘Once again, Lawhon works storytelling magic with a real-life heroine.’ (People)
'Fans of Outlander’s Claire Fraser will enjoy Lawhon’s Martha, who is brave and outspoken when it comes to protecting the innocent … Impressive.' (Washington Post)
‘[A] richly woven historical mystery … This gripping tale satisfies with every twist and turn.’ (The Australian)
