In 1932, Wanny Woldstad, a young widow, travels to Svalbard, daring to enter the Norwegian trappers’ fiercely guarded male domain. She must prove to Anders Saeterdal, her trapping partner who makes no secret of his disdain, that a woman is fit for the task.
Over the course of a Svalbard winter, Wanny and Saeterdal will confront polar bears, traverse glaciers, withstand blizzards and the dangers of sea ice, and hike miles to trap Arctic fox, all in the frigid darkness of the four-month polar night. For Wanny, the darkness hides her own deceptions that, if exposed, speak to the untenable sacrifice of a 1930s woman longing to fulfil a dream.
Alongside the raw, confronting nature of the trappers’ work, is the story of a young blue Arctic fox, itself a hunter, who must eke out a living and navigate the trappers’ world if it is to survive its first Arctic winter.

Prompt, pleasant, and professional. CYBER GENIE knows its stuff and is precise in recommending solutions with its internet and cyber expertise. Really refreshing to be working with such transparent and efficient comp, they are fast in response and keep their clients updated when hired. I hired them to help me recover my FTX Coins after the crash and they did a great job recovering my lost crypto coins. Aside from the impeccable hacking company, it's the servicing that makes you want to continue working with them. ([email protected]) is their email.
