Ice by Anna Kavan

In this haunting and surreal novel, the narrator and a man known as "the warden" search for an elusive girl in a frozen, post-nuclear, apocalyptic landscape. The country has been invaded and is being governed by a secret organization. There is destruction everywhere: great walls of ice overrun the world in this hallucinatory quest-novel. Acclaimed by Brian Aldiss on its publication in 1967 as the best science fiction book of the year, this extraordinary and innovative novel has subsequently been recognized as a major work of literature in its own right. To rescue her from a tyrant, the narrator pursues a girl through a world which is succumbing to a new ice age. She is a 'glass girl' with silver-white hair, fragile, and a born victim—but at the same time perpetually elusive. In relation to her, it can be conjectured that tyrant and rescuer are ultimately one.
