Welcome to Litsy!

I tune into Youtube @ceciliablomdahl?si=ch5bzcrrEqSTPzw6" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://youtube.com/@ceciliablomdahl?si=ch5bzcrrEqSTPzw6 every Sunday to watch Cecilia, Christoffer, and Grim, so I was delighted when Life on Svalbard came out last fall.

Read seasonally through Polar Night, Pastel Winter, Sunny Winter, Polar Day, & Golden Autumn.

Tue when Polar Night returned, I traded my usual tea for latte in Cecilia's honor and settled in to read last few pages of this amazing adventure. ☕️🌌🐶

Introduction
“My name is Cecilia, and I live on Svalbard, an island close to the north Pole.”
Chapter 1
“Each year in late October, the sun says goodbye for the final time, plunging Svalbard into a state of uninterrupted darkness.”

A love letter from the author to Føroyar and its' people after spending a year away from his London home to experience life and death on the islands.
Mentioning much about everyday Faroese life which includes shepherding, ornithology of the MANY bird species that nest there, and yes hunting whales, hares, and birds. All makes up the beautiful and centuries old culture that makes the Faroe Islands seem like a place from the past.
