The Winter Journey (French:Le Voyage d'Hiver) is the 18th novel by the Belgian writerAmélie Nothomb. It appeared on 20 August 2009 published byÉditions Albin Michel.
In spite of Zoïle's attempts to get rid of the presence of autistic novelist Aliénor Malèze from Astrolabe’s life, her agent and protector, so as to fully live his love for her, the result is a sentimental failure.

The title refers toFranz Schubert'sliedWinterreise: in the novel, Zoïle thinks about thissong cycle to forget about his fear during the terrorist act.
