When the Night Comes
This introduced me to two completely new worlds - a young family newly settled in Tasmania and life on board an Antarctic research supply ship (based on a real ship). Descriptions of the weather in Hobart and of the Antarctic landscape are vivid, and the matter-of-fact yet poetic writing style fits well with the rugged way of life and the relationship that develops. If you liked 'The Shipping News' you should enjoy this.
