Finished this book about a month ago, and it's still stuck with me.
A memoir of an Austrian woman in the 1930s who joins her husband and a cabin mate to winter over on Spitsbergen (also called Svalbard), a Norwegian Arctic island in a crude hunting cabin. The writing is so beautiful and descriptive, but without much sentiment or drama. A simple depiction of their simple life, living in the harshest conditions happily. An extreme example of living a lean life without feeling deprivation.
