The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas
3.75
dark emotional sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The Ice Palace is a heartbreaking book about childhood, loss, and grief. 

This story moved very slowly, but it gives a sense of the landscape and the emotion of the characters and the setting.
