Really well written and beautiful story with main characters in their early 50s who are pushing themselves to learn and continue to grow. Atmosphere isn't something I normally notice or spend time thinking about, but this was the exception - it was intense and vivid and some of the places will live in my heart for a while.

This book had me captivated! Felt weird finishing a novel set in Alaska in the middle of a heat wave, but I could not put it down. It’s cozy, mysterious and utterly compelling. About a childless couple who start being visited by a wild little girl who appears seemingly from nowhere after they make a snowman in the shape of a child.

A devastating novel, The Snow Child creates lots of interesting concepts while leaving the mystery of the snow child open ended. Brilliant book, but dragged a bit in places. Reminded me of novels I read in 7th grade — people farming who aren’t entirely good at it who get good at it & northern living.

3.5 / 4 stars
Book club read.
The writing was excellent, the characters well developed, the pacing was good. The setting was especially strong. This was a quick read in spite of the high page count. There were a few things that kept this from being 4 or 5 stars for me, but I'm but sure how to articulate them. I really enjoyed it, but it's not a book I would read over and over again. A good literary novel.
