Girl in Ice Book Review

“Girl in Ice” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Valerie “Val” Chesterfield is a linguist trained in the most esoteric of disciplines: dead Nordic languages. Despite her successful career, she leads a sheltered life and languishes in the shadow of her twin brother, Andy, an accomplished climate scientist stationed on a remote island off Greenland’s barren coast. But Andy is gone: a victim of suicide, having willfully ventured unprotected into 50 degree below zero weather. Val is inconsolable—and disbelieving. She suspects foul play. When Wyatt, Andy’s fellow researcher in the Arctic, discovers a scientific impossibility—a young girl frozen in the ice who thaws out alive, speaking a language no one understands—Val is his first call. Will she travel to the frozen North to meet this girl, and try to comprehend what she is so passionately trying to communicate? Under the auspices of helping Wyatt interpret the girl’s speech, Val musters every ounce of her courage and journeys to the Artic to solve the mystery of her brother’s death.

Brief Summary Girl in Ice by Erica Ferencik

Ferencik relates a fascinating tale about how Val, a woman who must suddenly confront her demons, bonds with the little girl. Eventually her named is revealed to be Sigrid. Val works to gain the child’s trust even as emshe/em becomes increasingly distrustful of Wyatt, the stories he tells, and his motives. Gradually, Val and Sigrid form a tenuous bond, as Sigrid repeats words that Val struggles to understand — they appear to contain only fragments of the languages about which she is knowledgeable. (The language Sigrid speaks was actually created by Ferencik to tell the tale.) Sigrid draws the same picture over and over, with increasing vehemence that convinces Val she is attempting to communicate something vitally important. But what is she trying to convey? At the same time, Val’s suspicions about Wyatt are heightened by her discoveries of evidence related to his ongoing research and experiments. Val forms an alliance with Nora and Raj, who are also growing extremely wary of Wyatt, and keeps her progress with Sigrid a secret from him, fearful of what he may be capable of doing with the information.
