A group of filmmakers heading to Arcadia, which is both fact and metaphor, make their way through the Swiss mountains which work their magic on each one of them.
Part philosophical discussion, part glamorous stopover, and part everyday narration, this is a book worth savouring.
The novel makes me think that perhaps each one of us has the opportunity to define the wilderness idyll of Arcadia for ourselves, and to find it within ourselves.
And that, I think, with all the bleakness in the world, is a blessing.
