Antarctica is the first novel I’ve read by Katherine Rupley, and I am very impressed. She had me on pins and needles, turning the pages as fast as I could during a good part of this book. In this story, ten unique, intelligent women scientists will spend thirteen months isolated in one of the most inhospitable places on earth…the South Pole in Antarctica. Ten women, placed in a building of about twelve hundred feet. This is about the same size as a small three bedroom suburban home, and this is where they must work and live for more than a year. This sounds like it could be a boring tale, but believe me, it is anything but that. Not only do these ladies have to overcome the harsh realities of where they are, there are influences that want the mission to fail.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
