![]() ![]() ![]() Colette's favourite colour is pink (and so is mine) and Violet had the easiest name to read. I liked the Thea sisters and liked that they talked to each other a lot.

The Englishmen were William Parry, first white man to winter in the Arctic, and John Ross, plagued by a terrible ego and by accusations of cowardice and plagiarism.
