  Edwin Clayhanger and Hilda are married at last, and the novel is about the years after: the house, the stepson, the money, and two people who cannot stop being who they were. Bennett finished the Clayhanger trilogy in 1916, and this is the volume where the Five Towns realism turns entirely inward. Nothing dramatic happens and the marriage is completely convincing. Fifty-seven plates of Sickert and Clausen, from music-hall stages to fields and ricks, hold the quiet, inward English life of the marriage alongside Bennett's prose.

  Fourteen degrees below zero—cold enough to freeze the soul. 
  Lewis Ingraham is cold. He’s lost his wife to cancer, his executive career, his once sure grip on the world around him. All that he can hold on to is his beautiful daughter Jay, a brilliant student who has become a struggling single mother. But he sees that even Jay is starting to slip away from him, in favor of Stephen, her self-important boyfriend. This time Lewis is going to fight back. 
  But when Lewis takes out his fury on Stephen, he ignites a chain reaction of violence. Now winter is bearing down on Minnesota. Desire, guilt, and rage are swirling in the snow. And a heinous crime is about to lead three people down a steep and unforgiving slope—into a realm of cold, hard truth. 
  Set in a chillingly barren milieu and invoking comparisons to Donald Westlake’s bestselling classic The Ax, 14 Degrees Below Zero is a stunning, provocative, and utterly unforgettable experience in psychological suspense and American noir—fashioned from the heat of ordinary lives.
