A devastating novel, The Snow Child creates lots of interesting concepts while leaving the mystery of the snow child open ended. Brilliant book, but dragged a bit in places. Reminded me of novels I read in 7th grade — people farming who aren’t entirely good at it who get good at it & northern living.

3.5 / 4 stars

Book club read.

The writing was excellent, the characters well developed, the pacing was good. The setting was especially strong. This was a quick read in spite of the high page count. There were a few things that kept this from being 4 or 5 stars for me, but I'm but sure how to articulate them. I really enjoyed it, but it's not a book I would read over and over again. A good literary novel.
