Winter at Long Lake: A Childhood Christmas Memoir

Certain to become an instant Christmas Classic along side Capote and Dickens, Winter at Long Lake is more than a memoir of a season fifty years ago, it is a return to a time when America, and the world, had not yet realized its limitations. Winner of the Hemingway First Book Award for his novel Flesh (Eaton Street Press), Skwiot moves with grace into non-fiction with his new memoir. Winter at Long Lake allows the author, whose writing Publisher's Weekly called "impressively crafted" and "gripping," to use the skills of his swiftly moving prose to expose the engaging characters of his own youth.
