Lady Jane Franklin did indeed send a number of expeditions to search for her husband John Franklin's lost Arctic venture, and many of my characters were inspired by real figures from the 1850s. But the idea of an all-female expedition as it unspools in the book, that never happened -- as far as we know!(less)

I’m assuming this book takes place in more then one country? I am looking for a book for my 2021 reading challenge that has this criteria.

Greer Macallister Yes, the expedition begins in Boston and moves northward into Canada, so it should count for your challenge! Best wishes for great reading in 2021.

Is there any reason why the letters from Lady Jane, to Virginia, are printed in such VERY tiny font? I know they are supposed to look like hand-written letters, but with the "script" look plus extremely small font, the letters are nearly impossible to read! Still, I'm loving this book -- just have to squint a bit at those parts.
