This story was a masterful telling of 13 women who choose not to conform to the rules placed on women in the 1850s. These fierce ladies set off on an Arctic expedition. Not everyone returns, however, setting off a murder trial. I loved this book! ❤️

Just general trigger warnings for people with depression and/or suicidal ideation. There's very much a bleak, hopeless atmosphere for much of the book that was unhealthy for me as I was reading during a depressive episode.
