What an adventure! This nonfiction account of of the author leaving civilization to spend a year in isolated Spietzbergen with her husband in 1934 was exciting and eye-opening. The stark differences between the life she knew and the polar life she experienced that year were vast. Coming from creature comforts and society to isolation and daily survival, she gained gifts that she never expected; Appreciation for nature, sunshine, and companionship. A very readable and enjoyable book!
