# Terra Nova - Hardcover

by **Henriette Lazaridis** (Author)

**A haunting story of love, art, and betrayal, set against the heart-pounding backdrop of Antarctic exploration--from the _Boston Globe-_bestselling author of _The Clover House._**

The year is 1910, and two Antarctic explorers, Watts and Heywoud, are racing to the South Pole. Back in London, Viola, a photo-journalist, harbors love for them both. In _Terra Nova,_ Henriette Lazaridis seamlessly ushers the reader back and forth between the austere, forbidding, yet intoxicating polar landscape of Antarctica to the bustle of early twentieth century London.

Though anxious for both men, Viola has little time to pine. She is photographing hunger strikers in the suffrage movement, capturing the female nude in challenging and politically powerful ways. As she comes into her own as an artist, she's eager for recognition and to fulfill her ambitions. And then the men return, eager to share news of their triumph.

But in her darkroom, Viola discovers a lie. Watts and Heywoud have doctored their photos of the Pole to fake their success. Viola must now decide whether to betray her husband and her lover, or keep their secret and use their fame to help her pursue her artistic ambitions.

Rich and moving, _Terra Nova_ is a novel that challenges us to consider how love and lies, adventure and art, can intersect.
