The Quickening: Creation and Community at the Ends of the Earth by Elizabeth Rush
5.0
Great connections between the journey to Antarctica and the journey to motherhood, the isolation & community of the ship and the isolation & community of the Covid-19 pandemic. Fine-tuned balance between information & science vs. introspection & prose. Hard to read at times due to the increasing feeling of doom I experienced.
