The Arctic Dream

At the heart of the novel lies the concept of the "Arctic dream." This elusive state of mind is a blend of longing, awe, and a sense of both the ephemeral and the eternal.

There is Inuk, a young Inuit woman who dreams of a life beyond the frozen confines of her village. There is Erik, a Swedish explorer who becomes obsessed with the allure of the North Pole. And there is Marie, a Russian scientist whose dreams are haunted by the secrets of a long-forgotten Arctic expedition.
