Fiction: Andrew Miller’s ‘The Land in Winter’
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller explores the timeless theme of adultery through the story of Dr. Eric Parry, who engages in an affair with a patient's wife in 1962. The narrative alternates between Eric and his wife Irene, and neighbors Rita and Bill, revealing a tale of desire and deception set against the backdrop of daily life. Unlike traditional novels, this story focuses more on the straightforward nature of the affair and the risk of getting caught, rather than delving into deeper social themes. The chilly landscape mirrors the emotional distance, resulting in a quiet, mournful portrayal of infidelity.
