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.

Viola undertakes the taking pictures of the women who have been on hunger strikes and she herself eventually takes a nude picture of herselft to be displayed. Watts and Heywoud do reach the pole, but the Norwegians have obviously been there first. Heywoud makes the decision to remove their flag and replace it with the Union Jack. Heywoud has found out about the affair between Watts and Viola and tensions are very high. Watts takes photographs, one of which will eventually show the decision that Heywoud has made.
The story of the two men in the Antarctic held my interest more than Viola's story, but it is still a pretty good read. ( )
