# Under a Pole Star by Stef Penney (Paperback)

_Sometimes you have to travel to the farthest edge of the world in order to find your true place in it..._  
**A panoramic historical epic and an unforgettable love story from the author of _The Tenderness of Wolves_, for fans of Kristin Hannah, Sarah Perry, and Barbara Kingsolver**  
A whaler's daughter, Flora Mackie first crossed the Arctic Circle at the age of twelve. Years later, in 1892, determination and chance lead her back to northern Greenland as a scientist at the head of a British expedition, defying the expectations of those who believe a woman has no place in that harsh world.  
Geologist Jakob de Beyn was raised in Manhattan. Yearning for wider horizons, he joins a rival expedition. Jakob and Flora's paths cross. It is a fateful meeting, where passion and ambition collide and an irresistible attraction is born.  
  
The violent extremes of the north obsess them both: perpetual night and endless day; frozen seas and coastal meadows, and the strange, maddening pull it exerts on the people trying to make their mark on its vast expanses - a pursuit of glory whose outcome will reverberate for years to come.  
**"The contrast of the lovers' blazing relationship set against the frigid Arctic and the secrets that propel the narrative will keep readers riveted in this hard-to-forget, mesmerizing tale!" --M.J. Rose, _New York Times_ bestselling author**
