I’ve read a number of books about the legendary Ernest Shackelton, same story but written in different styles. Caroline Alexander’s version is far and away the best of the lot. She writes with conviction and deep compassion for the heroic men involved and coming towards the end of the book I deliberately slowed down so as to delay finishing it.
