An intoxicating cinematic cocktail of power, lust, guilt and gold, on ice.
Power, lust, guilt and gold. These are a few of the drivers in Ann Eriksson's sixth novel, Where the Glacier Meets the Sky. When an infamous international mining company begins to blast through the glaciers of the high Andes to pillage the gold buried beneath, three gripping plots begin to unfold: an environmentalist fights to protect water rights and his own life; an innocent young girl is banished from home and family, and a scientist struggles to manage the competing pulls of curiosity and desire. They are drawn, irrevocably, to Iceland and the funeral of a glacier named Ok.
Ann Eriksson is a crusader for the earth. Her novels have been praised for their deft exploration of environmental and social questions. They have also "blown away" readers, been read "in one glorious binge" and described as "wise and deeply rendered."
