A woman in the polar night
In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable home to live for a year with her husband on the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen.

| 520 | |a In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable home to live for a year with her husband on the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen. She thinks it will be a relaxing trip, a chance to "read thick books in the remote quiet and, not least, sleep to my heart's content", but when Christiane arrives she is shocked to realise that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, battling the elements every day, just to survive. This luminous classic memoir tells the inspiring tale of a woman who found freedom and fulfilment in the adventure of a lifetime. | ||
