FROM BOOKER-LONGLISTED ED OŽLOUGHLIN: THE PERFECT NOVEL FOR FANS OF AMY SACKVILLEŽS THE STILL POINT AND FRANCIS SPUFFORDŽS I MAY BE SOME TIME.
It begins with a chance encounter at the top of the world.
Fay Morgan and Nelson Nilsson have each arrived in Inuvik, Canada - 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle - searching for answers about a family member: Nelson for his estranged older brother, Fay for her disappeared grandfather. They soon learn that these two men have an unexpected link - a hidden share in one of the greatest enduring mysteries of polar exploration.
Minds of Winter is a remarkable feat of imagination, empathy, and research. Past and present merge to convey the polar landscapeŽs immense mysteries, and the lives of those voyagers compelled to seek answers in its icy expanses. Ed OŽLoughlin is a skilled cartographer of both the Arctic and the human heart. What a magnificent novel. Ron Rash
