A review by inthecommonhours
The Snow Child, by Eowyn Ivey

4.0

Apparently I lost the long review I wrote via Brian's iphone on our drive yesterday. So this will be brief. I just finished the book yesterday, and imagine over time I'll grow more critical as I ponder alternative endings (she wrote herself into a corner, didn't she?). I thoroughly enjoyed Ivey's writing and her characters, which is what matters most to me. Also, how rare it is to enjoy love scenes between old married people. Literature needs more of those. The only thing I was really left wanting was to renderings of Mabel's sketches.
