About the Book

She learns about hunting and endurance, Inuit languages, legends and ghosts. Conjuring up Greenland's cruel, beautiful landscape, she shows that it is a land endowed with magical and mysterious properties. St Brendan, the sixth century Irish monk, described one of its huge glaciers as "a floating crystal castle the colour of a silver veil, yet hard as marble and the sea around it as smooth as glass and white as milk". This book shows that it has lost none of its power to enthral.

About the Author :
Gretel Ehrlich is the author of many works of non-fiction, fiction and poetry, including A Match to the Heart (Fourth Estate 1995) The Solace of Open Spaces; Heart Mountain; and Islands, the Universe, Home. She divides her time between California and Wyoming.

Review :
The author's account of travelling in Greenland, the largest island on earth and covered by a vast sheet of ice except for a very small portion. Many of the Greenlanders have kept their traditional way of life and still hunt on sleds made from whale and caribou with packs of dogs. We learn about the great explorer Knud Rasmussen, who was born in 1879 and was driving his own dogsled by the time he was 10. Ehrlich also relates tales of the ordinary men and women who brave this awe-inspiring land, including one who has shot two husbands dead for trivial reasons and is now in 'lock-up'. This truly remarkable country is the perfect setting for a wonderful blend of travel and adventure.
