The Cage is the debut novel from author Audrey Schulman. If you have been searching for a new story to add to your to-read list, check out this book that the Los Angeles Times has said is almost ‘unbearably suspenseful’, all about an adventure out in the wilderness where a woman takes on polar bears as well as some of her own deepest fears all while adventuring on the Canadian Tundra.

Beryl Findham is a nature photographer. She is fairly small when it comes to her size and occasionally experiences anxiety. She lives on her own in Boston and spends her time snapping photographs of the animals at the zoos. That all changes when she finds that she has an opportunity that doesn’t often come around.

Beryl has the chance to join up with a completely male expedition that will be leaving from a small town in Manitoba that is located on the Hudson Bay shore. She has the aim of getting closer to polar bears that can often be deadly while they are living in their natural habitat. But Beryl has such a naturally smaller frame that she feels that she has her own qualifications when it comes to getting inside the cage that would let her capture these animals on film.

Thus starts off a story that publications such as The Philadelphia Inquirer called ‘mesmerizing’. Beryl goes out into the frozen wilderness, setting off on a journey that will surely test her in emotional and physical ways that she never saw coming. This is a story that publications like Entertainment Weekly said were ‘guaranteed to chill’!

Publishers Weekly called this a riveting, assured first novel that is part ‘survival story, part coming-of-age tale’. Library Journal also said that this book may leave the reader ‘longing for a hot cocoa beside a warm fire’. If you have been looking for something new to try out and have not yet sampled the writing of Audrey Schulman, this is the perfect time to say yes to something new! Grab a copy of The Cage and see what you think.

Swimming with Jonah is an early novel from author Audrey Schulman. Yet another installment in the list of novels from this Canadian author, and one you won’t want to miss!

Jane Guy is the daughter of a physician who is known all around the world. She is insecure and awkward, but she also happens to be the daughter of a woman who was a gorgeous ballerina, so having these two as her parents doesn’t naturally endow her with confidence.

Now she has arrived at a small island in Indonesia in order to go to Queen’s Medical School as a student. This is a school that will take in any American privileged child no matter what their previous academic history has been, if they are given a large fee to satisfy them.

With water and the jungle all around them, Jane is put into the heat that just does not let up as well as the abuse leveled upon her psychologically by the staff. In the end, the realest connection that she ends up making on this island is with her sensitive fellow student Keefer, who is interesting because he has a shark that he has named Jonah that he is keeping captive in a pen in the ocean.

As the days go into the weeks, Jane Guy is nearly certain that she can feel herself changing. She is going into a body and a spirit that she doesn’t recognize anymore. As an energy field of desperation starts to get strong among her peers, she is more determined than ever to succeed.

Failure is the sole way that she knows how to get off of the island, and Jane doesn’t see it as an option. Will she be able to succeed, or will she be surprised by what happens? Read Swimming with Jonah to find out!
