A true story of ambition, obsession and the remaking of Arctic history. Lady Jane Franklin married Captain John Franklin at thirty-six. In addition to a life of adventure in many countries, she helped him seize the opportunity of a lifetime - leadership of a Royal Navy expedition destined, supposedly, to solve the final riddle of the Northwest Passage. After Franklin disappeared into the Arctic, she badgered the Admiralty into dispatching dozens of ships to locate him.
