1850. An Admiralty ship searching for Franklin’s lost expedition. An entirely male world – until Morgan, second-in-command of the Impetus, realises that there is a pregnant stowaway on board, and that he is the father. It’s too late to turn back, the ice is closing in, and the child will have to be born into the wilderness of the remote Arctic.
Colum McCann has described The Surfacing as "a stylish novel, full of music and quiet control."
