The clash between a will to survive in extreme circumstances and utter despondent grief unfolds with heartbreaking mastery in Cynthia Reeves’s THE LAST WHALER. A couple stranded at an Arctic whaling station in the late 1930s has endured so much before their journey that merely pulling through the ordeal may be more than they can handle. Reeves’s use of poignant letters and journaling to share both sides of the tragedy is powerful in its delicacy.
