Frosty Conditions follows Grant Atkins and Isabel Weekley from adolescence into adulthood, tracing how love, class, family damage, and loss shape the course of their lives over more than a decade. Set against the social and political landscape of late twentieth-century New Zealand, the novel begins with their meeting as teenagers in Wellington, but quickly grows into something far broader than first romance.
Grant is the son of an ambitious and controlling politician, raised in privilege but trapped in an emotionally brutal home. Isabel, from a poorer background, is intelligent, resilient, and burdened early by hardship and responsibility. Their bond forms in youth, yet the forces around them-family pressure, social expectations, pride, trauma, and separation-continually drive them apart.
As the years pass, both are changed by grief, disillusionment, and the struggle to build lives on their own terms. They endure failed hopes, fractured family ties, and the lingering effects of choices made when they were young. What begins as a connection in adolescence becomes a much deeper story about identity, survival, and whether love can endure across time, distance, and the weight of everything life puts in the way.
