The Cold War

Meer over het boek

Memories are strange things; they flit and flicker and fade like old photos left in the basement; fragments of lingering time. Join Ben as he relives his memories, drifting between past and future and struggling to unravel the things he's forgotten, the people he once knew and the bleak landscape of Canada's frigid north. Time and fate crisscross between the port town of Churchill during the height of the Cold War, where the threat of nuclear annihilation looms, and the trading rooms of Geneva twenty-five years later, where daily cataclysms make the price of coffee dance. The unlikely strand of fate linking these two worlds being a young Metis boy and the memory of a friendship long forgotten. Where his daydreams will bring him, Ben cannot yet say, and it starts to look doubtful if he will ever find a stable harbour.
