The Arctic Curry Club by Dani Redd
adventurous
emotional
slow-paced
2.5
Moving to the Arctic with her boyfriend seems just like one of those crazy life-changing things a girl should do when she’s in love.
For Maya, the 24-hour darkness, sub-zero temperatures and lack of direction, this is less of an exciting new adventure and more of a combination of crippling loneliness and anxiety.
Determined to prove to her boyfriend that she is more than her ‘dark days’, Maya accepts as job as the camp cook for End of the Road Cabins for polar survival classes and day trips in the snow.
When she’s asked to make a warm and spicy curry, Maya discovers Indian food is sparking memories of growing up in Indian – memories she lost after her mother died when Maya was seven years old.
