Steven Heighton - I love the way the shrinkage of the [ice] floe...

I love the way the shrinkage of the [ice] floe imposes this tightening dramatic focus to the action. They are being forced closer together even as they are trying to pull further apart. I like to think of it as an adventure story for adults rather than a Hardy Boys type thing. I sort of avoided the genre of historical fiction in the past because I always thought of it as a sub-genre and I knew it could easily lend itself to either costume drama or boyish adventure. I wanted it to be more complicated thematically and intellectually but I also wanted it to be a page-turner.
