One of the best novels I’ve read that strikes a balance between joy and sorrow. There are exceptionally sad moments, but you will feel pulled along by the hope and tenacity of the characters along with Ivey’s beautiful prose. The Snow Child is as lovely and daunting as Alaska itself.

Beautiful book. It has affected me so much. I don’t think everyone would love it as much as i did because it was exactly what I needed these past few days! But still a great book nonetheless. There are some quotes in here that will stick with me forever- I know it. 
All love to the author! I will read their other book very soon.

I saw another review use the word “bittersweet” and I think it’s a perfect description of this book. Deep sadness and loneliness paired with mystical wonder and tenderness. The ending did feel rushed a bit to me and I have some lingering questions, though I know that’s also the point.
