Helen Dunmore takes us into the harsh, sensuous world of endless winters and midnight sun in this collection of short stories. Tense, moving and mysterious, the stories explore the pain woven into human relationships, the ambivalence of filial love,and the dangerous lure of sensuality, themes which echo between stories and linger in the mind. "An electrifying and original talent" - the Guardian "Exquisite writing adorns every page, marvellous flashes of poetic insight" - Sunday Telegraph
