Cooper Gosling has just answered five hundred of them. Her results indicate she is abnormal enough for Polar life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooper’s not sure if this is an achievement, but she knows she has nothing to lose. Unmoored by a recent family tragedy, she’s adrift at thirty and—despite her early promise as a painter—on the verge of sinking her career. So she accepts her place in the National Science Foundation’s Artists \u0026amp; Writers Program and flees to Antarctica, where she encounters a group of misfits motivated by desires as ambiguous as her own. The only thing the Polies have in common is the conviction that they don’t belong anywhere else. Then a fringe scientist arrives, claiming climate change is a hoax. His presence will rattle this already-imbalanced community, bringing Cooper and the Polies to the center of a global controversy and threatening the ancient ice chip they call home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA warmhearted comedy of errors set in the world’s harshest place, South Pole Station is a wry and witty debut novel about the courage it takes to band together when everything around you falls apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061677146352,"sku":"9781250112828","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250112828_p0.jpg?v=1763702650","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250112828","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
