Suburban New England, and the Hood family are about to wish they'd stayed home....
1973 - 'The last year of the sixties' as the author describes it. Amidst the worst storm for 30 years the local families gather for a party - the highlight of which is the wife-swapping 'key game' - and for two couples this supposedly harmless piece of liberal-minded entertainment spells permanent disaster.
Astutely acerbic, painfully funny, The Ice Storm is an astonishing novel of the decade that taste forgot.
