Summary:
"Escapando de un país violento que no le ofrece futuro alguno, Violeta emigra de la Ciudad de México a San Francisco para comenzar de nuevo y cumplir su sueño de convertirse en escritora. En California conoce a Anders, un joven sueco que la motiva tanto intelectual como afectivamente, pero con un aura de tristeza que la intriga. Al paso de los días, la conexión entre ellos se hace más fuerte y Violeta siente que ha recuperado esa fe en la humanidad que le han robado hombres mentirosos como su padre; sin embargo, su carácter indómito, sus constantes conflictos con el entorno ecocida y misógino en que le tocó vivir y las deudas pendientes con su pasado, en particular el abandono de su madre, la mantienen en una permanente búsqueda de su lugar en el mundo. El peso de la familia y un doloroso secreto que emergerá poco a poco y forma parte de ella, sumado al misterio que encierra Anders, podrían virar el destino de Violeta hacia un puerto inesperado, ¿tal vez en el rincón más remoto del planeta? Con pericia literaria y un ritmo envolvente, Juvenal Acosta retrata en La puerta del Círculo Polar Ártico el espíritu del momento que vivimos, a partir de la historia de una joven que lucha por creer que como especie estamos a tiempo de hacer bien las cosas." -- page 4 of cover.
