The End of the Ice Age brings together twelve tales of hardscrabble characters circling in their lonely orbits. These are stories of unfulfilled expectations, infidelities and small though ultimately meaningful victories that allow us to withstand greater losses. This could be Carver territory if it was not so obviously Young’s world. These stories will linger with you for a long time.
