A novel of letters. A book of wonders. A story of love, loss, and life on Earth. Before email, Facebook, and Twitter, people wrote letters. Thomas Wharton’s new novel tells the story of James Wheeler and Martha Geddes, who meet at an environmental conference in Iceland and feel a mutual attraction. The catch is that they live on opposite sides of a continent and one of them happens to be married to someone else. For years they share their love for the oddities and wonders of nature through letters. When tragedy occurs, words from a distance may not be enough to help a friend find the way back from darkness. A novel that celebrates the miracle of life on this planet, and the healing power of love. From the author of Icefields, Salamander, and the Perilous Realm trilogy.
