About This Book
In a remote, snowbound country a man cultivates elaborate romantic fantasies to guide a young blind woman through imagined worlds, while two other household members see through his fabrications. Daily survival—trapping, woodcutting, and hauling supplies—collides with emotional strains of jealousy, tenderness, and resentment, and the group's cultivated illusions begin to unravel. The narrative traces shifting loyalties and the moral ambiguities of self-deception, showing how love, performance, and isolation shape choices and fractures within a fragile domestic life against a harsh natural backdrop.
