Diamond and the North Wind works on several levels simultaneously. It is a rousing adventure tale, but it is also the story of the relationship between a mortal human and an eternal force of nature. On its surface, it’s a story of very particular heroes, villains, and a real-world battle for survival, but the underlying issues it explores are profound and universal.
