The Snow Song by Sally Gardner

An absolutely stunning read, I was completely hooked reading this. It’s a heartbreaking feminist fairytale, it’s beautiful in its imagery, it’s metaphor for Edith’s silence representing the lack of voice women and she had in her life, the fact that she was able to provide so,some who listened to the other women in the village, who are all equally repressed by the elders and men in the village. A wonderful tale of love, magic and the power of women , sadly this fairytale and themes are still present throughout the world and western society. This is an uplifting read despite its themes, one that leaves you changed from reading it. An hauntingly beautiful read.
