Book review: The Heart of Man
A nameless boy survives a blizzard which almost cost him his life. He is taken in by a doctor and his family in a fishing village on the northern coast of Iceland.
Yet these otherworldly rescuers are as much a mystery to the newcomer as the boy is to the local inhabitants. Thus the scene is set for an awakening to the profundities of love and desire as the boy seeks to master his fate and rationalise the cruelties of the wilderness life.
