#george chambers

Graves of Ice, by John Wilson. George Chambers was a real person, but much of the story is mere conjecture, due to the fact that so few written records about the Expedition have been found. Perhaps that’s why it doesn’t bother me too much that George comes off as an unreliable narrator.

I first learned about the Franklin Expedition from Margaret Atwood’s short story collection Wilderness Tips. So when I first read this book, I had a pretty good idea of how it was going to end. Even still, the story was engaging.

Goodreads star rating: 4/5
