Victim of the Aurora Zusammenfassung

Victim of the Aurora Thomas Keneally

In the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of gentlemen wait out a raging blizzard in the perpetual darkness of the Antarctic winter, poised for a strike at the South Pole. As the storm lifts, a new challenge faces Captain Sir Eugene Stewart - to discover which of his twenty-five carefully chosen men has become a murderer. The quest for adventure has become a quest for justice.

Victim of the Aurora Bewertungen

His story is tightly reined: terse, ironic, reflective. His depiction of Edwardian innocence and stuffiness crashing against the Antarctic void is superb * Washington Post *
The solution is as astonishing as it is inevitable, the denouement chilling and tragic * Ruth Rendell *
The period gives this book its strength and character . . . altogether an admirable accomplishment * New Yorker *
The absolute dark, absolute cold of the Antarctic is skilfully evoked * Sunday Times *
A powerful and subtle writer . . . a remarkable novel * Spectator *
I was riveted by this tale of a man fighting the elements and his fellow explorers * Daily Telegraph *
Highly original and deeply moving * Observer *
