At the turn of the twentieth century, Arctic explorer Edward Mackley sets out to reach the North Pole and vanishes into the icy landscape without a trace. He leaves behind a young wife, Emily, who awaits his return for decades, her dreams and devotion gradually freezing into rigid widowhood.A hundred years later, on a sweltering midsummers day, Edwards greatgrandniece Julia moves through the old family house, attempting to impose some order on the clutter of inherited belongings and memories from that illfated expedition, and taking care to ignore the deepening cracks within her own marriage. But as afternoon turns into evening, Julia makes a discovery that splinters her longheld image of Edward and Emilys romance.The Still Point slaloms through past, present, and future, with dreams revealing a universal simultaneity to the choices we must all make in the faces of love and passion. Longlisted for the Orange Prize, The Still Point is a powerful literary debut, masterfully told in the language of the heart.
