Framing the life of the 19th-century explorer Sir John Franklin, this novel explores not only the adventures of his career, but also enters a world where the quality of life is considered in "slow motion", where ordinary experience becomes wholly new and unexpected.
First Sentence
John Franklin was ten years old, and he was still so slow that he couldn't catch a ball.
