Maggie and Jack are young newly weds, living in medieval Coventry
in 1909. They are happy and content. But long working hours
seriously undermine Jack's health and they are forced to consider
leaving their tight knit family and moving to either Australia or
Canada. They pick Australia. As the departure date looms they and
their families are obliged to consider their choices and what a
move to the far side of the world will mean for all of them. In
1911 this was like moving to the other side of the galaxy. Set in
Coventry between 1909 and 1911, the story focuses on how the family
copes and what they plan to do against the historical background of
the time.

Set in the present in a look out station in the Arctic Circle 500km
north of Tasiilaq. Paul Cartwright has been up in the station for
the better part of 15 years. He has lost his mind. The Danish and

scientist up there to close it down and remove Paul from danger.
When the story opens, and for sometime, Paul has been feeding a
polar bear who has moved into the area due to the shrinking ice
cap. Everyday he endangers himself stepping outside to feed the
beast. His only contact is through a video screen where he
interacts with his family and the outside world. The Danish
scientist that is sent to shut it all off is Martin, who was Paul's

them cope with the solitude and being with each other while pursued
by the snow, ice, cold and hungry polar bear?
