Description

From the author of The River at Night and Into the Jungle comes a harrowing new thriller set in the unforgiving landscape of the Arctic Circle, as a brilliant linguist struggling to understand the apparent suicide of her twin brother ventures hundreds of miles north to try to communicate with a young girl who has been thawed from the ice alive.Valerie “Val” Chesterfield is a linguist trained in the most esoteric of disciplines: dead Nordic languages. Despite her successful career, she leads a sheltered life and languishes in the shadow of her twin brother, Andy, an accomplished climate scientist stationed on a remote island off Greenland’s barren coast. But Andy is gone: a victim of suicide, having willfully ventured unprotected into 50 degree below zero weather. Val is inconsolable—and disbelieving. She suspects foul play. When Wyatt, Andy’s fellow researcher in the Arctic, discovers a scientific impossibility­—a young girl frozen in the ice who thaws out alive, speaking a language no one understands—Val is his first call. Will she travel to the frozen North to meet this girl, and try to comprehend what she is so passionately trying to communicate? Under the auspices of helping Wyatt interpret the girl’s speech, Val musters every ounce of her courage and journeys to the Artic to solve the mystery of her brother’s death. The moment she steps off the plane, her fear threatens to overwhelm her. The landscape is fierce, and Wyatt, brilliant but difficult, is an enigma. But the girl is special, and Val’s connection with her is profound. Only something is terribly wrong; the child is sick, maybe dying, and the key to saving her lies in discovering the truth about Wyatt’s research. Can his data be trusted? And does it have anything to do with how and why Val’s brother died? With time running out, Val embarks on an incredible frozen odyssey—led by the unlikeliest of guides—to rescue the new family she has found in the most unexpected of places.

“Girl in Ice” is a remarkable book. It is a sleek psychological and environmental thriller that will chill you to the bone, as you yourself are immersed in the beautiful yet unforgiving ice. We follow the story of Val, a skittish linguistics professor who is more comfortable studying languages in the library than out in the field where the world seems a dangerous place. Mourning the loss of her twin brother and enlisted to solve the mystery of a young girl found frozen alive in Arctic ice, Val is thrust into a truly dangerous place, a raw emotional and physical landscape that will require everything from her to survive.Set in the remote parts of Greenland, “Girl in Ice” takes as one of its most fascinating characters the landscape itself. Ferencik renders this frozen wilderness with loving and exquisite detail. I fell in love with the world Ferencik creates and became enthralled with the interesting and idiosyncratic characters who inhabit that world. Another thread that was particularly engaging was the way language was interrogated and celebrated as a meaning-making instrument that defines one’s relationship to the environment. In an astonishing feat, Forencik creates her own ancient language, which is strange, beautiful, and entirely credible.I highly recommend "Girl in Ice." It is smart and thrilling—a gorgeous story, deftly crafted and beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down.
