THE EXCEPTIONAL DEBUT FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE FELL
‘I revelled in Cold Earth. Brilliant’ Penelope Lively
‘Chilling and remarkable… Moss is a master at evoking suspense’ Guardian
On the west coast of Greenland, a team of archaeologists searching for traces of lost Viking settlements receives news from back home: a deadly pandemic has swept across the world. As the Arctic winter approaches and their communications with the outside world fail, the six abandoned souls are left fighting for survival, writing letters to loved ones they may never receive.
Cold Earth is a chilling, haunting and scarily prescient tale of grief, isolation and the will to survive.
‘Unnerving, ambitious… utterly absorbing and – appropriately enough – very chilling’ Daily Mail

Really enjoyed this one. A great story with great characters it's tense, atmospheric and compelling. Also a bit spooky. Set in rural Greenland with a team of archaeologists lots of issues are raised: death, grief, mental health, friendship, love and survival among others. A great one for a reading group. Or Halloween!
