' Fear the north wind. Because no one will hear you scream...'
A family is gunned down in the snow but one of the children
...
A bewitching tale of heartbreak & hope set in 1920s Alaska.
Alaska, the 1920s. Jack & Mabel have staked everything on a fresh start in a remote homestead, but the wilderness is a stark place, & Mabel is haunted by the baby she lost many years before. When a little girl appears mysteriously on their l&, each is filled with wonder, but also foreboding: is she what she seems, & can they find room in their hearts for her?
Written with the clarity & vividness of the Russian fairy tale from which it takes its inspiration, The Snow Child is an instant classic.
