Everything is cold and covered in snow, and everyone seems disconnected and doomed. You might enjoy this, which might have been a SA Book Club choice a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Four Six Four is kind of a Japanese police procedural that can be used kind of like a guidebook to late 80s Japanese culture. There are all sorts of workplace and family dynamics going on, and the focus is more on those than your normal crime novel. Everyone in Six Four is disconnected and doomed, too! Snow Country is on my Kindle. I'm just coming off the Gideon the Ninth books and I'm looking for a change of pace. I'm only partially ashamed to say I learned a little bit about snow country in Japan from one of the Yakuza games; a character escapes from prison and holes up in one of these snowy villages for a little while. The events in the game led me to reading up on Japan's "southern alps."
