'A troubling, hammering and glorious novel' DAVID MITCHELL On the
edge of the Antarctic Circle, in the years after World War One, a
steamship approaches a desolate island. On board is a young man on
his way to assume the post of weather observer, to live in solitude
for a year at the end of the earth. But on shore he finds no trace
of the man whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged
castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. The rest is
woods, a deserted cabin, rocks, silence and the surrounding sea.
Then night begins to fall . . .
