About this Article

Jenny Milchman’s debut novel, “Cover of Snow,” intimately examines the life of a woman who is in grief and pain, doubt and shock, following the death of her husband. Nora Hamilton woke up after a wonderful night of passion and reconciliation to find an empty bed. She discovers her husband, Brendan, hanging from a rope. From all outward appearances, he was happy, and Nora doesn’t believe he took his own life.
