The Snow Child |
I can't remember what made me buy this book - maybe the reference to Arthur Ransome, whose books I loved as a child, and a Russian fairy tale. It is beautifully written and utterly magical and captivating! A first novel by an Alaskan, about Alaska interwoven with a couple's love and survival in the desolate land, and their longing for a child. I was very sad to get to the last page, it had taken me to another world. (Margaret Knott - bwl 67 Winter 2013) |
