His world is shattered further by the sudden and violent death of Annie Marchand, his beloved former baby-sitter. Narrated by the adult Arthur, who continues to be haunted by memories, the story of a young man's unraveling family and the circumstances leading up to Annie's death forms the backdrop for an intimate tale of the price of love and belonging, told in a spare, translucent, and unexpectedly tender voice.10700691994Snow Angels: A Noveltotal:357|5:54|4:131|3:125|2:38|1:9|35712545347054falsefalseFri Aug 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008Fri Aug 22 08:14:51 -0700 2008Fri Jul 17 09:36:15 -0700 2009
