Steamy Saturday

It's almost the new year, and it has been a snowless December, which is very unusual for our area. Some of us are pretty passionate about the snow, so on this last Saturday in 2023, we thought we'd combine the two and bring you some romantic steam from the great white north in Arctic Nurse by Rose Dana, "A Unibook Romance" published in New York by Modern Promotions, A Unisystems Company, in 1966.

Aside from its gratuitously benevolent racism (e.g., "Grace had come to understand and love the amiable, broad-faced people in their colorful woolen and fur jackets." "Konala was living proof that the natives could adapt themselves to the twentieth century." "She’s really typical of her own race in every other way. And I find the Eskimos a wonderful people."), its occasional flashes of self-awareness (“Civilization always brings drawbacks with its benefits.”), and its formulaic storyline (Nurse Grace has a choice between kindly Doctor Mark and curmudgeonly Reporter Richard; who do you think she chooses?), there's a fair bit of authenticity in the descriptions of life in the eternal cold and snow.

This comes from an author who has lived knowledge of deep winter: Rose Dana is one of the many pseudonyms of the extraordinarily prolific Canadian writer W. E. D. Ross (1912-1995), who, with over 300 novels, may be the most prolific Canadian writer of all time. He wrote in a number of genres and is the author of the Barnabas Collins series of novels based on the American vampire TV series Dark Shadows (1966–71). The nurse romance, however, was a mainstay for him.

So, until we get some snow, we'll just chill with this sappy little arctic romance.
