What this book is about
Written as Barbara Vine, this novel takes the form of a confession by Tim Cornish, a young man who left a fellow traveler to die of exposure on a remote Alaskan island during a disastrous night together. The confession he writes to his married lover circles back to what really happened — and to the violence that followed. A dark, claustrophobic psychological thriller.
