She expects a relaxing retreat, a chance to read thick books and sleep peacefully. Instead, she is shocked to find they will be living in a tiny, ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement. Initially horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape, and the lack of basic supplies, Christiane slowly begins to adapt. Through long treks over the ice, encounters with bears and seals, and the daunting experience of months of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic's harsh, otherworldly beauty. This rediscovered, luminous classic is an inspiring and mesmerizingly beautiful account of a woman defying societal expectations to find freedom and fulfillment in the adventure of a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010226704723,"sku":"4351","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9781805330899.jpg?v=1781608988","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/a-woman-in-the-polar-night-pushkin-press-classics-christiane-ritter-jane-degras-sara-wheeler","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
