Description
A haunting story of love, art, and betrayal unfolds in Terra Nova, set against the backdrop of Antarctic exploration. In 1910, two explorers, Watts and Heywoud, are racing to the South Pole, while back in London, Viola, a photo-journalist, harbors love for them both. As Viola navigates her life, she finds herself torn between her ambitions as an artist and her feelings for the men. Her photography becomes a powerful tool, capturing the female form in challenging ways and shedding light on the suffrage movement. However, when she discovers that Watts and Heywoud have doctored their photos of the Pole, Viola must decide whether to betray them or keep their secret. This is a rich and moving novel that explores the intersections of love, lies, adventure, and art.
