Description
Cold Coast by Robyn Mundy is a gripping portrayal of survival in one of the world's most unforgiving environments. In 1932, Wanny Woldstad, a young widow, travels to Svalbard, where she must prove herself as a trapper alongside her male partner Anders Sæterdal. As the harsh Arctic winter sets in, Wanny and Sæterdal face numerous challenges, including polar bears, blizzards, and treacherous sea ice. But their struggles are not just about survival - they also reveal Wanny's own deceptions and the sacrifices she has made to pursue her dreams. Against this backdrop of raw, confronting nature, a young Arctic fox must navigate its first winter in the trappers' world. With masterful wit and fervour, Mundy translates the stark beauty and acerbity of the Arctic, creating a stunning novel that is both a gripping tale of survival and a powerful exploration of one woman's struggle to find her place.
