The top echelons of society live in Floating Cities off the coast, while people on the mainland struggle to survive. For Rose, working as a hostess in the city’s elite club feels like her best hope for a better future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a high-profile client offers Rose a job as an escort at a fledgling company in northern Canada called Camp Zero—a source of fresh, clean air and cool temperatures—in return for a home for her displaced mother and herself, she accepts it. But in the north, all is not as it seems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough skillfully entwined perspectives, including a young professor longing to escape his wealthy family and a group of highly trained women engaged in climate surveillance at a Cold War era research station, the fate of the Camp and its inhabitants comes into stunning relief. Atmospheric, original, and utterly gripping, \u003ci\u003eCamp Zero\u003c\/i\u003e interrogates the seductive and chilling notion of a utopia; asks who and what will survive as global tensions rise; and imagines how love may sustain us.","brand":"Michelle Min Sterling (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Knopf Canada |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-04-04","offer_id":44151341777151,"sku":"9781039005273","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_ba24f106-11b2-4363-8360-8713a4d87b02.jpg?v=1674791723","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781039005273","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
