Title: An entertaining tale
Product review: Gavin Weightman writes very well. His books are very difficult to put down and this one is no exception. The story follows the life of Frederic Tudor and his untiring efforts to harvest, transport and sell ice at distant locations. Tudor's life and the ice trade are so intertwined that when he dies (90% into the book), one is left with the feeling that something is missing in the last 10% of the book. In order to not fall into this trap, one must remember that this is not a Tudor biography but the story of the ice trade. With this in mind, one can enjoy this book from cover to cover. A good read.
