Join the EVLT Book Club for a fun, informal discussion of “Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic” by Jennifer Niven.

In September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate Wrangel Island for Great Britain. Two years later, Ada Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious polar expedition. This young, unskilled woman–who had headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband–conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and survived all alone after her male companions had perished.

Join us for good company and lively conversation. All are welcome!

When: Thursday, February 20 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
