Description

Strange things done in the midnight sun . . . Ready for romance and adventure, two sisters take summer jobs as live-in waitresses on the edge of the Arctic Circle. The big-city girls soon learn that the Klondike still exists, and that everyone at the Hotel Beringia seems to have a hidden agenda.

An outpost on the remote Dempster Highway, Hotel Beringia is a popular stop for truckers, highway workers, adventurous tourists and scientists, serviced by staff who are all trying to get away from something. It’s the late 1980s and everyone wants a piece of the Arctic, whether or not it’s theirs to take.

Working in the busy restaurant under a sun that never sets, sisters Rumer and Charlotte each find romance in the midst of intrigue. When Charlotte vanishes with her unsuitable lover, Rumer is the only “Klondike geisha” around and begins to wonder whether her attractive scientist is as honourable as he appears.

Hotel Beringia is at once mystery and comedy, set in the Yukon during a pivotal time for the role of women in the North and the drive to exploit the riches of the Arctic and its peoples.
