Discover the resilience of the human spirit in this deep examination of life-altering events.

A Novel
Charlotte McConaghy - 2020-08-04
Рейтинг Goodreads
Полярные крачки ежегодно совершают миграции из Гренландии в Антарктиду. Такова их природа. Есть люди, которых природа тоже создала странниками, — они уходят на зов дальних морей и земель, оставляя тех, кто их любит, бороться с необоримой тоской. Ни людям, ни птицам не дано знать, что ждет их в конце — за кромкой вечных льдов, там, где страшная утрата может обернуться самым драгоценным обретением. И все же они стремятся к конечной цели, какие бы преграды ни вставали на пути. Даже если эта их миграция — последняя.
