Cold Coast by Robyn Mundy

5.0

A beautiful novel. Set in the brutal landscape of Svalbard. Australian author Mundy was inspired by her many years as a tour guide in Svalbard and by the real-life story of Wanny Woldstad, who in 1932 became the first female trapper and hunter in the Norwegian archipelago. Loved the story of Little Blue (a young blue Arctic fox) - a parallel story to that of Woldstad - showing the harsh reality of surviving an Arctic winter.

Woldstad's fellow trapper is Andres Saeterdal - a gruff man. The two of them forge a touching relationship while confronting polar bears and living through the strangeness of the polar night. Highly recommend.
