Cold Coast by Robyn Mundy
Inspired by the story of Svalbards first female trapper, Cold Coast is a gripping portrayal of survival within the stark beauty and perilous wilderness of the high Arctic
The book, based on a true story, is about the place as much as Wanny’s lifeMundy is utterly convincing in her description of the far north — the passing of the seasons, the cracking of the ice and the movement of the birds. * The Times *
A brilliant feminist biographical natural history novel. * Australian Women's Weekly *
Mundy's writing is poetic and lyrical. It transports the reader to a perilous but unexpectedly luminous part of the world that most people will never visit. -- Karen Viggers * Canberra Times *
[Mundy] translates the stark beauty and acerbity of the Arctic with masterly wit and fervour. This is the best kind of novel – one that takes you away from the mundanity of your plastic chair and four concrete walls. -- Jessie Tu * Sydney Morning Herald *

Wild places form a big part of Robyn Mundy’s life, and her novels. Robyn has wintered and summered in Antarctica, the setting for her first novel The Nature of Ice. Her second novel, Wildlight, is set on remote Maatsuyker Island, home to Australia's loneliest lighthouse where she spent ten months. For over 20 years Robyn has worked seasonally as a ship-based tour guide in Svalbard, Greenland, Antarctica, the Norwegian coast and wild Scotland. Her numerous visits to Svalbard led to her 2021 novel Cold Coast. Robyn lives in Tasmania with a penguin biologist and a Blue Heeler.
