Y así, por segunda vez en tres años, Cilka se encuentra de nuevo hacinada en un tren de ganado que la transportará a Vorkuta, el gulag de Siberia situado a noventa y nueve millas del Círculo en el que deberá cumplir con más de diez años de condena de trabajos forzados. Por fortuna, Cilka consigue convertirse en ayudante en la enfermería del gulag y allí conocerá a Ivan Kovac, convaleciente a causa del maltrato y la desnutrición, y poco a poco se enamoran. Cilka descubrirá su capacidad humana para el amor, la generosidad y la supervivencia, y logrará mantener viva la esperanza en este terrible y desolado lugar.
