Under Story

‘We wake up to tomorrow, never yesterday.’

Epic, tender, breathtakingly ambitious, Under Story is a once read, never forgotten exploration of the power of second chances, and the hope that the impossible might also be true.

At an isolated research station in Antarctica, biologist Laurel Salter washes dishes for a living ten hours a day, six days a week. She tells no one why she left her career or why her marriage ended.

But even in this remote outpost, Laurel cannot outrun her past. When a visual disturbance known as the Arc draws a group of physicists to McMurdo, Laurel realises that her former husband Eli is about to re-enter her life.

Whether it is circumstance or fate that has brought them back together, Laurel and Eli each sense a possibility about the Arc’s appearance: its glow; the way it seems almost alive. And while Eli is reluctant to test the scientists’ wilder theories, it is Laurel who is willing to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them–to turn back the clock and live their story a second time.

But this time, live it differently.
