This has to be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I felt my own personal grief understood in these pages.

A slow, atmospheric book. It had a wonderful sense of place - the Alaskan wilderness. A perfect winter read. ❄️ 

I didn’t know that this was going to be a retelling of the Russian folk tale of “Snegurochka” or The Snow Maiden - so that was a fun surprise!
