The Snow Queen by Michael Cunningham
3.0
I read audio books when I walk or knit or other times when I can't read but can pay attention to something other than what I am doing. Sometimes I pick out a book that I haven't heard much about. Usually they are pretty good. One recent book in this category was The Snow Queen by Michael Cunningham.
The book opens with Barrett wandering through Central Park wondering why his latest relationship failed. He looks up and sees a light that he thinks is looking at him. When he returns home he decides not to tell his brother Tyler, and Tyler's girlfriend Beth. Tylerr is a musician who has been using cocaine for some time, even though he has told Barrett and Beth that he is clean. Beth is dying of a rare form of cancer. Barret and Beth work for Liz in a vintage shop.
The novel follows Barret and Tyler as they try to make sense of their world and cope with reality. It it a gentle novel about love and art and making your way in the world.
