«Banquises» is the novel by Valentine Goby, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (209 pages, in French).
In 1982, Sarah, 22, leaves France for Uummannaq, Greenland, and gets lost in the ice cap. Twenty-seven years later, her sister Lisa makes the same journey and discovers a wounded territory, where community life fades with the ice. The novel speaks of disenchantment, loss, and the impossibility of mourning.
The novel was first published in 2011, and this Le Livre de Poche edition dates from August 2013.
A read for those who enjoy contemporary French fiction and stories about the Arctic, memory, and grief.
