This is the first book I've ever read about Greenland...but if they are all as good as this one, I can see a new reading trend coming. I found this book fascinating. Moss captured the bleakness of the environment so well, along with the desperation of the characters.
This story revolves around an archaeological dig in Greenland, and is told from the perspective of each character (though some get more play than others). One character in particular is plagued by "ghosts" of Greenland-past, which worries her team members for a range of reasons. As the summer moves on, the time for them to be picked up arrives--however, nobody comes. The cold and lack of food makes things increasingly dire. I hurtled towards the end of the book, desperate to find out their fate.
All in all, an excellent book and a great introduction to the Greenland landscape.
