I have to start by saying that this is one of the most beautiful books every. Look at that cover! My first impressions of the book was that it is surprisingly short for the sweeping saga that the blurb suggests. Once I started reading I found that this really is a condensed saga and there is lots covered in around 300 pages.

The story is so unusual, I have never read anything that features the lives of those living in the Arctic. It is such an understated, romantic tale of forbidden love and heartbreak. There are so many parts to this story that this could easily have been twice as long and not dragged. In some ways I wish this had been longer so that I could have spent longer following along. There are some elements to the story that I do think could have featured more, for example the relationship between Caro and her mother in law.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a romantic historical saga but doesn't want to commit to a long read!
