Read the review on my blog. ( )

Edmée and Peter, both socially alienated, seeking escape from the world in the nothingness of the South Pole, meet and bond on a scientific base in the Antarctic, where they are both new recruits - Edmée a radio operator, Peter a heating engineer. Starting at opposite sides of the world, the ghosts of the Antarctic narrate the irrevocable process of their paths towards each other, culminating in an inevitable coming together. The telling is very bleak, the language quite sparse, for all it's dream like quality - I found this quite an odd book and am still a little undecided how I feel about it. ( )
