Recenzii
"If
Willa
Cather
and
Gabriel
Garcia
Marquez
had
collaborated
on
a
book,
THE
SNOW
CHILD
would
be
it.
It
is
a
remarkable
accomplishment
--
a
combination
of
the
most
delicate,
ethereal,
fairytale
magic
and
the
harsh
realities
of
homesteading
in
the
Alaskan
wilderness
in
1918.
Stunningly
conceived,
beautifully
told,
this
story
has
the
intricate
fragility
of
a
snowflake
and
the
natural
honesty
of
the
dirt
beneath
your
feet,
the
unnerving
reality
of
a
dream
in
the
night.
It
fascinates,
it
touches
the
heart.
It
gallops
along
even
as
it
takes
time
to
pause
at
the
wonder
of
life
and
the
world
in
which
we
live.
And
it
will
stir
you
up
and
stay
with
you
for
a
long,
long
time."—Robert

"THE SNOW CHILD is enchanting from beginning to end. Ivey breathes life into an old tale and makes it as fresh as the season' s first snow. Simply lovely."—Keith Donohue,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Stolen Child
"A transporting tale . . . an amazing achievement."—Sena Jeter Naslund,New York Timesbestselling author ofAhab's Wife
"THE SNOW CHILD is a vivid story of isolation and hope on the Alaska frontier, a narrative of struggle with the elements and the elemental conflict between one's inner demons and dreams, and the miracle of human connection and community in a spectacular, dangerous world. You will not soon forget this story of learning to accept the gifts that fate and love can bring." —Robert Morgan, author ofGap Creek
"Eowyn Ivey's exquisite debut transports the reader away to a world almost out of time, into a fairytale destined to both chill and delight. Her portrayal of an untamed Alaska is so detailed you can feel the snowflakes on your own eyelashes, even as her characters' desperate quest for, and ultimate redemption by, love will warm your heart."—Melanie Benjamin, author ofAlice I Have Been
"Magical, yes, but THE SNOW CHILD is also satisfyingly realistic in its depiction of 1920s homestead-era Alaska and the people who settled there, including an older couple bound together by resilient love. Eowyn Ivey's poignant debut novel grabbed me from the very first pages and made me wish we had more genre-defying Alaska novels like this one. Inspired by a fairy tale, it nonetheless contains more depth and truth than so many books set in this land of extremes."—Andromeda Romano-Lax, author ofThe Spanish Bow
"This book is real magic, shot through from cover to cover with the cold, wild beauty of the Alaskan frontier. Eowyn Ivey writes with all the captivating delicacy of the snowfalls she so beautifully describes."—Ali Shaw, author ofThe Girl with Glass Feet

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A bewitching tale of heartbreak and hope set in 1920s Alaska, Eowyn Ivey's THE SNOW CHILD was a top ten bestseller in hardback and paperback, and went on to be a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
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.
