The harps of God

"The Harps of God poses the question, what does it take to survive? How does an individual find the will to survive in a hopeless and absurd scenario? Beliefs that the men relied on to survive in their isolated fishing villages are put to the test on the desolate icefield under a curtain of cold. In the end, their prejudices, their doubts, their bleak individual histories, their familial conflicts, their entrenched loyalties, and their myopic beliefs are what destroy many of the men's will to survive.".

"Those who are angry, hateful, vengeful, and hopeless lose the courage or strength to survive. What they think will protect and save them becomes the means to their death. But those who accept the impossible and develop a particular urge to defy it; those who have a cultivated personal vision, an inclusive moral system, an understanding of contradiction, an ability to love, and a compassion for humanity; those are [the] survivors."--BOOK JACKET.
