Summary "Year of the Big Thaw" by Marion Zimmer Bradley is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The book tells a warm and fanciful story about a Connecticut farmer, exploring themes of love, family, and the extraordinary events that can change lives. The narrative centers around the mysterious arrival of a baby from another world and the relationships it fosters. The story is narrated by Mr. Emmett, who recounts a pivotal moment during a major thaw in the region when he discovers a crashed flying contraption containing a baby. After rescuing the child and its dying father, who claims to come from a distant star, Mr. Emmett and his wife Marthy decide to raise the boy, named Matthew, as their own. As Matthew grows up, he displays remarkable intelligence and an uncanny ability to read minds, leading to both humorous and heartfelt moments in the family dynamic. The tale masterfully blends elements of science fiction with the everyday realities of rural life, ultimately celebrating the bonds we create and the impact of extraordinary circumstances on ordinary lives.
