"Stonich effortlessly conjures multiple vivid settings and uncommonly interesting characters even as she moves seamlessly between the past and the present. A subtle, lovely evocation of the transforming power of love." Booklist

Written with the subtlety and beauty that won extravagant praise for These Granite Islands ("truly lovely"- Minneapolis Star Tribune), THE ICE CHORUS is a novel about love, memory, and the secrets we discover when we face the truth about ourselves.

Praise for These Granite Islands

“These Granite Islands is the kind of book that instills a hunger for more; like a well-paced feast, it continually stimulates the appetite and puts off satiery until the very last course.” – Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Stonich's rich debut is a romance in the best sense of the word: it’s a tale of love and adventure set in a remote time... – Publisher’s Weekly

“One of the joys of reading is coming across a book in which language is perfectly wedded to story. These Granite Islands is a marvelous first novel...” Colum McCann, author of This Side of Brightness and Everything in This Country Must

These Granite Islands has been translated into seven languages. It was a Barnes & Noble “Discover Great New Writers” selection, a Book Sense 76 Top Ten Pick, a finalist for France’s prestigious Grand Prix Letrices d'Elle, and a “2001 Friends of American Writers” Best Novel.
