No quibble refund if not completely satisfied.
Vindela Vida's research enabled her to depict the climate and people of the Far North in a way that makes them accessible to our intellect while keeping them inaccessible to our emotional selves. Family secrets, well-intentioned deceptions, and fierce self-reliance combine to bring forth a captivating story about characters who seem to have no souls. It's a good read, but leaves one with scant hope of future happiness.
