An exquisitely crafted, strikingly original literary debut that is both a doomed Arctic adventure and a haunting love story. Sharply observed and deeply engaging, The STILL POINT is a powerful literary debut, and a moving meditation on the distances - geographical and emotional - that can exist between two people.
