The author tells us of her amazing, historic journey
A hundred years ago a Canadian woman called Mina Hubbard made an astonishing 600 mile river journey to the heart of unexplored Labrador . She was travelling to restore the reputation of her husband who had died on the same route.
Now a British writer Alexandra Pratt has become the first person since then to attempt this historic route through some of Canada 's wildest territory and she's written a book about it.
She joins Martha to discuss Mina Hubbard's extraordinary achievement and to tell the story of her own expedition.
