Review of The Ice Storm (1997) by Caroline P — 09 Mar 2015

This paints a picture of a deeply confused and frustrated group of upper middle class suburbanites in the 1970s who all seem to be searching for some kind of steady ground during a tumultuous time in history.

The teenager's stories of sexual and emotional experimentation are particularly fascinating and often touching. The adults seem plain lost in the woods with potentially no real resolution. Does the tragedy that occurs during the storm bring them any closer to having more honest conversations with each other? Maybe.

Or maybe not.
