Two Antarctic expeditions a century apart struggle on the same desolate island: a tense and compelling novel from the author of Mr Chartwell.

1913: Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps - three men bound not by friendship, but by an intense dependence founded on survival - will be immortalised by their decision to volunteer to scout out a series of uncharted and unknown islands in the Antarctic, a big, indifferent kingdom.

2013: Brix, Jess, and Decker - three researchers with their own reasons for being far from home - set out on a field trip to the same ancient lumps of rock and snow, home to nothing but colonies of penguins and seals.

Under the harsh ultraviolet light, as all colours bleach out, and the world of simple everyday pleasures recedes, they unknowingly begin to mirror the expedition of 100 years ago.

Praise for Everland

Nothing short of stunning . . . something very powerful and unusual indeed

Guardian

The making and demolishing of heroic myths is just one strand in this wonderful Antarctic adventure . . . Hunt is a talented writer. On my watch this novel would win the Booker

Kate Saunders, The Times

Part-thriller, part adventure story, part social drama and utterly absorbing

Daily Mail

Hunt delivers a story that manages to be both surreally absurd and grimly captivating

Independent on Sunday

Thought-provoking and affecting . . . a gripping story

Sunday Telegraph

Hunt is an accomplished writer . . . rather captivating

Sara Wheeler, Financial Times

Hunt's Antarctica is beautifully done, and she expresses the enthralment and the hatred for it that the explorers feel
