Book Reviews of The Ice Master: The Doomed 1913 Voyage of the Karluk
Book Review: A harrowing yet uplifting tale of human suffering and braver
Summary: 5 Stars
The Ice Master is a harrowing tale of a dooomed expedition to the icy wastes of the Arctic Circle. It speaks of a bygone age, but still manages to convey a sense of time and place today, and you feel that you know each character by the end of the book, so beautifully drawn are they by the author. The research has been impeccably undertaken by someone with a love of her subject,and the attention to detail is highly impressive. You cannot help but feel for the men, women and children who were left to their fate in freezing temperatures by selfish and egocentric men, who were help bent on personal glory. It is essentially a diary of survival and of personal bravery and cowardice juxtaposed. It is hard to imagine the horrors these people went through in the frozen and desolate landscape in which they were abandoned. A fantastic read from the warmth of your sitting room on cold Winter's nights, that leaves you with feelings of sadness and uplifts you in equal measure.
