<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>They say that tourist ships to Antarctica, even more than ordinary human conveyances, are loaded down with aching hearts. Deceived wives and widowers, men who've never been loved and don't know why, Russian crew forced to leave their children behind for years at a time ... And then there are the married couples: how calm the old ones, how eager the new! - but isn't a couple the greatest mystery of all? </p> <p><em>Regions of Thick-Ribbed Ice</em> is the tale of a journey to Antarctica aboard the Professor Molchanov. With unmatched eloquence, Helen Garner spins a tale of ships, icebergs, tourism, time, photography and the many forms of desolation. </p> <p>Helen Garner has written novels, short stories, screenplays and many acclaimed works of journalism. She was the recipient of the 2006 Melbourne Prize for Literature. Her books include <em>Monkey Grip</em>, <em>The Children's Bach</em>, <em>Joe Cinque's Consolation</em>, <em>The Spare Room</em> and <em>This House of Grief</em>.</p>
