The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This may be the most beautiful book I’ve ever read.
The descriptions of the Alaskan landscape, flora and fauna, weather patterns and animals were so beautiful. I never thought I would be eager for that place, but Eowyn’s prose was so lovingly rendered and gorgeous, it made me want to visit Alaska again.
The characters were well-wrought and absolutely lovable. The mysterious snow child and her roots in fairy tale offered just the right amount of magic and mystery.
I loved the beautiful surprises that came near the end (trying not to be a spoiler!). So delightful.
So sad and beautiful at the same time.
I highly recommend this book, in case it’s not already obvious!
I met Eowyn at the Tattered Cover’s annual Authors Meet Readers event, and she was a total dear. As a fellow bookseller-turned-author, I enjoyed our conversation about a life among the stacks.
