The perfect blend of historical fiction and magical realism. Mabel and Jack move to Alaska in the 1920s to escape their grief from infant loss and infertility. One whimsical night, amidst the grueling work homesteading in the harsh Alaskan winter, they build a snow child and by morning they discover she’s come to life. Their friends think they’ve gone mad; however she continues to show up on their land at the first snow of each winter and their lives are forever changed. 

This was an evocative portrayal of grief and longing, and Ivey did a great job capturing the beauty and danger of Alaska! Can’t wait to read more from this author.

The Snow Child was easy to get into and kept my attention. It was very atmospheric.

I liked the fact that the neighbors were there to help them when they needed it most. The friendship aspect was so enjoyable!

The audiobook performance was good!

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