{"product_id":"book-bvt8","title":"My Last Continent","description":"An unforgettable debut with an irresistible love story, \u003ci\u003eMy Last Continent\u003c\/i\u003e is a big-hearted, propulsive novel set against the dramatic Antarctic landscape—“original and entirely authentic love story” (Graeme Simsion, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Rosie Project\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is only at the end of the world—among the glacial mountains, cleaving icebergs, and frigid waters of Antarctica—where Deb Gardner and Keller Sullivan feel at home. For the few blissful weeks they spend each year studying the habits of emperor and Adélie penguins, Deb and Keller can escape the frustrations and sorrows of their separate lives and find solace in their work and in each other. But Antarctica, like their fleeting romance, is tenuous, imperiled by the world to the north.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA new travel and research season has just begun, and Deb and Keller are ready to play tour guide to the passengers on the small expedition ship that ferries them to their research destination. But this year, Keller fails to appear on board. Then, shortly into the journey, Deb’s ship receives an emergency signal from the\u003ci\u003e Australis\u003c\/i\u003e, a cruise liner that has hit desperate trouble in the ice-choked waters of the Southern Ocean. Soon Deb’s role will change from researcher to rescuer; among the crew of that sinking ship, Deb learns, is Keller.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs Deb and Keller’s troubled histories collide with this catastrophic present, Midge Raymond’s phenomenal novel takes us on a voyage deep into the wonders of the Antarctic and the mysteries of the human heart. \u003ci\u003eMy Last Continent\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with emotional intelligence and high stakes—a harrowing, searching novel of love and loss in one of the most remote places on earth, a land of harsh beauty where even the smallest missteps have tragic consequences—“Half adventure, half elegy, and wholly recommended” (Karen Joy Fowler, author of \u003ci\u003eWe Are All Completely Beside Ourselves\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347506143536,"sku":"BDbvt8","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/299288-bvt8-Square.jpg?v=1734206780","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bvt8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
