Tragic and sad, but also very beautiful.
Tragic and sad, but also very beautiful. I was a bit surprised about how much this magical story got to me, as I usually don't understand the longing of people to have children. I don't have this feeling myself, so I can't put myself in their place. Eowyn however, wrote it down so well, I was as happy as they were when they found their snow child, and as anxious and sad when they lost her. I could understand both their stories, but also have wanted to shake them up so many times and even had to tell my partner about their bad communication skills that brought so much sadness. It's a magical folkloric story, but also a touching real one. Fully deserves it's Pulitzer!
