Oh, it's utterly gorgeous! I love hearing it in your voice. (Your English is beautiful; whereas my Swedish is -- well, nonexistent, really.) It's awesome to hear how the words sound in the rhythms of your voice.

A handful of the phrases in the story came from Shackleton's actual diary, so I tried hard to make the tone of the story match the lines I'd borrowed from him. Hearing you read it, it all sounds like poetry, which makes me so happy.

Thank you SO MUCH!
