16 reviewsIn a freezing, isolated Siberia of 1919, James Meek poses a crucial question: under what circumstances is it justifiable to eat another human being?
Welcome to Siberia in 1919. Deep in the unforgiving landscape, a town lies under military rule, awaiting the remorseless assault of Bolsheviks along the Trans-Siberian railway. One night a stranger, Samarin, appears from the woods with a tale of escape from an Arctic prison, insisting a cannibal is on his trail. Only Anna, a beautiful young widow, trusts his story. When a local shaman is found dead, suspicion and terror engulf the isolated community, which harbours a secret of its own…
"Religious fanaticism and impassioned political radicalism are the combustible conjoined themes of the globetrotting British journalist’s third novel... Meek throws them all together in impressively dramatic “big” scenes whose power is ever-so-slightly vitiated by contrived explications of the paradox indicated by his superb title: the destructiveness latent in visionary all-or-nothing reversals of social order and “normal” human impulses... A provocative, skillfully plotted, emotionally engaging fiction—and a giant step forward for the gifted Meek." - Kirkus Reviews
