Quatrième de couverture :
'A fast-paced, gripping story set in a world of gruesome violence and perversity where murder happens on a whim; but where a faint ray of grace and hope lights up the landscape of salt and blood and ice. A tour de force of narrative tension' Hilary Mantel
Behold the man: drunk, brutal and bloodthirsty, Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaling ship bound for the hunting waters of the Arctic Circle. Also aboard, for the first time, is Patrick Sumner, an ex-army surgeon with a shattered reputation and no better option than to embark as ship's medic on this ill-fated voyage.
In India during the Siege of Delhi, Sumner thought he had experienced the depths to which a man can stoop, but now, trapped in the wooden belly of the ship with Drax, he encounters pure evil and is forced to act. As the true purposes of the expedition become clearer, the confrontation between the two men plays out amid the freezing darkness of an Arctic winter.
With unstoppable momentum and the blackest, sharpest wit, The North Water weaves a superlative story of humanity under the most extreme conditions that grips like a thriller.
