Cold Coast: An Arctic Read

Here’s a good read that you might like to consider adding to the list for books set in the Arctic: Cold Coast, by Robyn Mundi (2022). It’s based on the true story of the first woman to work as a trapper in Svalbard in the high Arctic, where for four months of the year there is no sunshine… It’s beautifully told, a tale of challenge, survival, bravery, and even a little love. The descriptions of nature are astounding. But beware: it deals with the trapping of animals such as bear and fox, so best avoided if that’s not to your taste.
