The Snow People
Marie Herbert
1973, 1974, Book Club Associates, London
unknown isbn
253p.
The author, her husband, and their baby spend over a year living with Greenland Eskimos to document their lives through film. This book is her account of what they experienced during their time there.
Now I want to go to Greenland! The conditions are so harsh (although, this book was written in the 1970s so perhaps things have changed a little), but quite enticing. The story was a little rambly, and could have done with some editing to make the narrative flow more smoothly (I'm talking end-paragraphs here, just basic stuff). However, the adventures they had were amazing - the fact that they took their baby along even more so.
