En esta novela, Beryl Bainbridge ofrece un relato ficticio de la expedición antártica liderada por el Capitán Scott en 1912. La historia se cuenta desde la perspectiva de Scott y cuatro miembros de su equipo, revelando sus personalidades y el fatal optimismo que los llevó al desastre. La autora explora temas de coraje, resistencia humana y las consecuencias de la arrogancia en un mundo que presagia la carnicería de la Primera Guerra Mundial.
