stelepami 's review for:
The Voyage of the Narwhal
by Andrea Barrett
I picked this one up from the shelf of books recommended by the staff of my local library.
Excellent book, well-researched and well-written. Amazing setting of arctic exploration in the early 1850's. Enough detail to put me through the journey without dragging, even in the spans of time when the expedition was ice-bound. The characters were developed during the exploration and carried the plot after the return from the frozen north. The ending was perhaps a little abrupt, but otherwise a fantastic book. I'm going to read more by this author.
