Would recommend: Maybe

Charming and entertaining - it's not my typical book choice, but I picked it up because I'm reading all things penguin/Antarctica these days. It was a predictable "cranky old person gets new lease on life" plot, but certainly enjoyable. I thoroughly appreciated the description of when Veronica first saw the Adelie penguins.
