Summary "Five Nights: A Novel" by Victoria Cross is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The narrative captures the experiences and introspections of the main character, Trevor Lonsdale, as he reflects on five pivotal nights of his life that are richly colored by emotion and environment. As an artist, Trevor's journey intertwines the beauty of the natural world, particularly the stark and vivid landscapes of Alaska and his encounters with various characters, including the enigmatic Suzee, setting the stage for deeper explorations of art, love, and longing. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the lush Alaskan scenery as Trevor embarks on a steamship journey through the Taku Inlet, near the majestic Muir Glacier. Here, he is captivated by the natural beauty and finds himself consumed by the serene yet powerful essence of the North. Eventually, he encounters a group of rugged miners, sharing tales of hardship and adventure, before venturing onto the glacier itself. Trevor's solitude and reflection on art and existence take center stage, placing him in stark contrast to the discussions of the miners. As he immerses himself in the landscape's tranquility, he contemplates the themes of mortality, nature's grandeur, and the impact of his past experiences, hinting at the emotional complexities that lie ahead.
