In a series of flash backs in the time between hearing of her death up until her funeral encompassing a trip to Reykjavik Iceland in the Winter that followed, the narrator describes childhood memories, dreams and sometimes supernatural premonitions that interlink whilst traversing the unfamiliar landscape that is grief at losing a sibling which the narrator has come to name ?The Wilderness?.
