Description:	Select Guide Rating A witty and wonderful book about 1970s family life, that has been made into a critically acclaimed film. ''One of the wittiest books about family life ever written'' Guardian* ''A hilarious, remarkable and beautiful book'' Jeffrey Eugenides ''A blackly funny and beautifully written novel'' Sunday Times 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.
