The White South

by Hammond Innes

  It is unlikely that Judie Craig will make another trip to the White South. Already she is a mother and they have a charming house looking out over the Falmouth estuary, where they spend the summer months sailing. There is nothing now to remind them of the terrible hardships they suffered except for a series of beautiful ice studies presented to them by Aldo Bonomi. And—most treasured of all—a picture of Gerda Petersen taken just before the start of the trek across the ice. It faces you in the wide entrance hall as you go in, so that no one can enter their house without meeting her.
