Cold Earth

Sarah Moss

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
