This enchanting story is about Jack and Mabel, a couple who lost their only baby years before and make a fresh start in the Alaskan wilderness of the 1920s. Haunted by childlessness, they tenderly build a snow girl when the first snows fall. The figure is gone next morning, but they begin to glimpse a little girl, running through the trees near their homestead. Is this child human, or a snow-sprite? Whoever or whatever the snow child is, she changes them forever. Richard & Judy Book Club Review.
Alaska, the 1920s. Jack and Mabel have staked everything on a fresh start in a remote homestead, but the wilderness is a stark place, and Mabel is haunted by the baby she lost many years before. When a little girl appears mysteriously on their land, each is filled with wonder, but also foreboding: is she what she seems, and can they find room in their hearts for her?
Written with the clarity and vividness of the Russian fairy tale from which it takes its inspiration, The Snow Child is an instant classic.
