Shiver: A Novel by Nikki Gemmell
The heartbreaking and beautiful original debut novel from the now-acclaimed Australian writer, Nikki Gemmell.
Shiver tells the story of Fin, a young woman who gets the chance of a lifetime to go to Antarctica. Surrounded by the cruel beauty of the last great wilderness on earth, she finds herself transfixed by the power of the land. Travelling and living with a close-knit and idiosyncratic team, Fin learns the rules and taboos of community life in Antarctica, and then promptly breaks the strictest taboo of all - she falls in love. The consequences are shattering.
Lyrical, haunting and sometimes painfully moving, Shiver is a first novel of great power and beauty.
