'Northern Pole' is an absorbing read with believable characters and a sound historical background. Spanning a period from 1940 to the early 1950s, it deals unflinchingly with the horrors and deprivations inflicted on innocent people by the invading German forces and the mental breakdowns many experienced years after it was all supposed to be over. PTSD wasn't a term used back then, but that is what many were suffering from.
This is an outstanding debut novel and I shall look forward to reading more of Julie Fearn's work. ]]>
