Overview

When an Antarctic field expedition goes wrong, the consequences extend far beyond the ice. Robert "Doc" Wright knows what happened but can no longer communicate it; at home his wife Anna learns a new life as a carer. The novel traces how a single event reshapes identity, relationships and daily routines.

The work quietly investigates heroism, sacrifice and the urge to tell our stories even when words fail. Its tone is intimate and restrained, focused on small acts of care and the slow work of memory.

Ideal for readers of literary, character-driven fiction who are drawn to family drama, caregiving, and explorations of resilience.
