Katherine "Kit" Carlyle is 19, still mourning the death of her mother and resenting her absentee father. An IVF baby, she's haunted by the 8 years she spent as a frozen embryo. Instead of heading off to college at Oxford, she's "experimenting with coincidence," following happenstance clues to her future. Her odyssey will take her to Berlin and on to Russia and the frozen north. The wrap-up is a little disappointing, but the trip is a lovely, eerie, elegant ride.

Katherine Carlye is an IVF baby. Stored as a frozen embryo for eight years, she is then implanted in her mother and given life. By the age of nineteen, Katherine has lost her mother to cancer, and feels her father to be an increasingly distant figure. Instead of going to college, she disappears, telling no one where she has gone. What begins as an attempt to punish her father for his absence gradually becomes a testing ground of his love for her, a coming-to-terms with the death of her mother, and finally the mise-en-sce?ne for a courageous leap to true empowerment.
