After their father’s death, Collette and Jean-Michel Langelier leave post-war France for Alaska. Jean-Michel hopes the distance will silence memories of the violence he experienced during the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925, while Collette embraces the journey as an escape from the restrictions of home.
Young widow Katherine Demarchis travels to the Curry Hotel with her grandmother and unexpectedly meets Jean-Michel, the man from whom earlier circumstances separated her. Their renewed relationship is threatened when his trauma returns in dangerous episodes. The novel treats the Alaskan resort not as untouched refuge, but as a place where survivors must confront what travel cannot erase.
