RICHARD &,amp, JUDY BOOK CLUB 2017 - 'ONE OF THE BEST NOVELS I
HAVE READ FOR A VERY LONG TIME' RICHARD MADELY 'A dazzling tale of
romance and survival' (Guardian) Follow the path to the freezing
north.&,nbsp,Follow your ambition.&,nbsp,Follow your
heartFlora Mackie was twelve when she first crossed the Arctic
Circle on her father's whaling ship. Now she is returning to the
frozen seas as head of her own expedition of exploration. Jakob de
Beyn was raised in Manhattan but his yearning for new horizons
leads him to the Arctic as part of a rival expedition. When he and
Flora meet there is an instant connection that slowly builds to
become an all-consuming love. The affair survives the growing
tensions between the two groups. Then, after one last glorious
summer on the Greenland coast, Jakob joins his leader on an
extended trip into the interior, with devastating results. The
stark beauty of the Arctic, where pack ice can crush a ship like an
eggshell, and the empty sweep of the tundra, alternately a
snow-muffled wasteland and an unexpectedly gentle meadow, are
vividly evoked. Against this backdrop Stef Penney weaves an
irresistible love story, a compelling look at the dark side of the
golden age of exploration, and a mystery that Flora, returning one
last time to the North Pole as an old woman, will finally lay to
rest.
