Was she real? Was she a winter fairy? The world may never know...
I really wished Goodreads allowed half stars. I would give this book 2.5. It was well written but I just was not into the story or the characters. I found myself not carrying about them and what happened. I think it was a storyline that just was not meant for me.
The Snow Child is beautifully written. Very meloncholy, but also full of magic and wonder. My imagination was captured...until the disappointing ending. The ending of this one really sucked all of the magic out of it for me.
A difficult read that includes the dreams and grief of a childless couple. The two main characters moved to Alaska in the 1920's to homestead and start over as they near their 50's. I love the images of the desolation and struggle of the wilderness, but struggle with the magical child who comes to them - is she a real girl or the fairy legend of a snow child who becomes human?
