An remarkable debut with an amazing love story, My Previous Continent is a big-hearted, propulsive novel set contrary to the dramatic Antarctic landscape - an "original and entirely authentic love story" (Graeme Simsion, writer of The Rosie Task). It is only by the end of the world - on the list of glacial mountains, cleaving icebergs, and frigid waters of Antarctica - that Deb Gardner and Keller Sullivan feel at home. For the few blissful weeks they spend every year studying the habits of emperor and Adélie penguins, Deb and Keller can evade the frustrations and sorrows of these separate lives and discover solace in their work and in one another. But Antarctica, like their fleeting relationship, is tenuous, imperiled by the earth to the north. A fresh travel and research season has just begun, and Deb and Keller will be ready to play head to guide to the individuals on the small expedition ship that ferries them with their research vacation spot. But this year Keller fails to look onboard. Then, soon into the journey, Deb's ship receives an emergency indication from the Australis, a luxury cruise liner that has strike anxious trouble in the ice-choked waters of the Southern Sea. Soon Deb's role changes from researcher to rescuer; on the list of crew of this sinking ship, Deb learns, is Keller. As Deb and Keller's stressed histories collide with this catastrophic present, Midge Raymond's remarkable novel calls for us over a voyage deep in to the wonders of the Antarctic and the mysteries of the human being heart. My Previous Continent is packed with emotional brains and high stakes - a harrowing, looking novel of love and damage in one of the most remote control places on earth, a land of harsh beauty where even the smallest missteps have tragic outcomes - "1 / 2 adventure, 1 / 2 elegy, and wholly advised" (Karen Happiness Fowler, writer of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves).
