Idealistic, misguided Morten Falck is a newly ordained priest
sailing to Greenland in 1787 to convert the Inuit to the Danish
church. A rugged outpost battered by harsh winters, Sukkertoppen is
overshadowed by the threat of dissent; natives from neighboring
villages have united to reject Danish rule and establish their own
settlement atop Eternal Fjord. As Falck becomes involved with those
in his care-his ambitious catechist, a lonely trader's wife, and a
fatalistic widow he comes to love-his faith and reputation are
dangerously called into question.
