Everland
Everland | Rebecca Hunt
6 posts | 4 read | 15 to read
1913. Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps-three explorers bound not by friendship, but by a dependence founded on survival-volunteer to leave their ship, the Kismet, and scout an uncharted and unknown island in the Antarctic, which Napps names "Everland." While all three are enticed by the promise of adventure and reward, they are immortalized by the disastrous outcome of the expedition, their stories preserved for posterity. 2012. Brix, Jess, and Decker-three researchers with their own reasons for being so far from home-set out on a centenary field trip to survey the same island. Their equipment is more advanced than the previous group's, and their purpose more scientific, but the harsh weather of Everland remains an unpredictable and deadly force: the adventure and the danger are inescapable. Under the harsh ultraviolet light of a sun which doesn't set, and isolated from the world, they begin to echo the expedition of a hundred years ago. History, it seems, has a way of repeating itself-when theirs is written, what will it say? From the Trade Paperback edition.

Another let down for me, though it may be my state of mind. This was highly recommended after I'd read a Sarah Moss book with a similar feel. But this fell short. I got confused with the 1912 dual chapters, then the last few chapters were too much. I guess indicative of the character minds but felt mixed up fir me.

Two Antarctic expeditions 100 years apart. The first in 1912 went horribly wrong. But are the accounts of that failed attempt accurate? Will the 2nd attempt make the same mistakes? Who determines the legacy of one‘s actions when one is no longer there to mount a defense? When is it preferable to remember a version of the past more complimentary to ourselves and our guilty consciences?

Fantastic, nail biting suspense! 😬 #14Books14Weeks2021

Tamra This sounds great - I enjoy these kinds of adversity/expedition books. 3y
Ruthiella @Tamra I think then you will like this. While it is all entirely fictional, I found the comparison that Hunt makes between the the expeditions and the psychology behind our human behavior fascinating. 3y

Madeline: "A group of three people go to Antarctica in 1913 to do research on this new land. A hundred years later, in 2013, a different group goes to the same place that the first group has named Everland. It's about their experience, survival, and their travels. I have a deep wanderlust and like traveling by myself. It's very liberating and freeing. You can change your mind and if you're tired you relax, if you're intrigued you keep going."

Anna40 I loved travelling alone. Could do whatever I wanted, hang out with the people I met or stay on my own! 8y
