Description

From the writer of The Ice Soldier, comes an actual-life adventure some of the fjords and icy mountains of Norway.

Certain geographies speak to people. We are awed by mountains, challenged by the ocean, haunted by the bleakness of deserts. The effect of landscape on human consciousness is on the heart of novelist Paul Watkins’s exhilarating go back and forth story. Long bewitched by the stark wonderful thing about the Scandinavian Alps, Watkins sets off some of the ice-clad peaks and dark fjords of the arctic with just a tent and rucksack. At the way, he stops at rustic inns, follows the paths of other solitary travelers, navigates the punishing weather, and confronts the magisterial presence of the past among these mountains–a journey that makes for one among our finest accounts of the life and the land within the frozen north.
