Mad dogs and an Englishwoman - Polly Evans

In the dead of winter, Polly Evans ventures to the remote Yukon Territory in Canada's far northwest, where temperatures plunge to minus forty and the sun rises for just a few hours each day.
Her mission: to learn to drive sled dogs.
In a pristine landscape patrolled by wolves and caribou, Polly takes her first bruising lessons in the art of mushing, and before the spring she becomes infatuated with this brutal, beautiful land.
Above all, she discovers a deep affection for the loving, mischievous and courageous huskies who escort her through the trails of the unforgiving north.
