What is the story behind the story of Scott’s famous, fatal expedition to the South Pole? What is the story that only the five women behind the explorers, knew to be true? As one of the most famous stories in exploration, and how much does the widows narrative challenge the story we thought we knew?
For the first time, Katherine MacInnes’s Snow Widows looks at the expedition through the lives of the women whose worlds were forever changed by it. The women who would shape it for posterity.
Snow Widows is available now at the library.
