In the tradition of Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', 'The Colony of Good Hope' is an immensely powerful historical novel about the first encounters between Danish colonists and Greenlanders in the early eighteenth century, of brutal clashes between priests and pagans, love, death and evil and the forces that drive each individual towards darkness or light.
