As someone with a huge interest in the Franklin Expedition, when I first heard this book was coming out I was really amused to see that Graham Gore had become a romantic protagonist. But gosh, this book is just…stunning. Such an original concept, incredible characters written with such depth, and such a challenging look at power and government. I really hope it continues to get the praise and attention it so rightly deserves.

(and, as a bonus - I’m delighted to think it might get the story of the expedition out to more people!)
