Vart tog den söta lilla flickan vägen by Åsa Lantz

3.0

Strangely unsatisfying. Everything gets answered in the end, but somehow it just doesn't all make sense, the logic limps. Further, some of the characters are not fully convincing.

A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen

5.0

Extremely thorough and detailed!

An Empire of Ice: Scott, Shackleton, and the Heroic Age of Antarctic Science by Edward J. Larson

4.0

I found the structure stimulating, arranged by topic rather than chronology.
Interesting material, a lot of it new to me, tha author has certainly found some intriguing original sources.

My Life as an Explorer by Roald Amundsen

5.0

I read the first Norwegian edition which contains details of the Nobile conflict. (It was toned down in later editions.) Fascinating.
