This first novel by Newfoundland-born, Montreal-resident Kathleen Winter is one of those books in which the land is a prime mover, determining the flow of events relentlessly as it moves from velvety black winter to brief, brilliant summer. It is not about the landscape, enormous as it is, but rather about its inescapable effect on the lives of its peoples.

The story is set in Croyden Harbour, Labrador, where the Northern Lights shimmer but no longer speak. It is the story of Treadwell and Jacintha, a couple who are not suited to each other, and their child, Wayne, who is not suited to the place where he was born.
