The Snow Child was just a sweet story. It wasn't very surprising, it wasn't shocking or particularly striking in any way. But, the quiet poignancy and tone of the book made it remarkable and beautiful.
Ivey has created her own variation on the old Russian Fairy Tale of The Snow Maiden. She adapts the setting to 1920s Alaska but keeps the ambiance of a fairy tale while managing to keep this quality from becoming too oppressive or overbearing.
It felt like a comfortable hug and provided a great escape on the rides to and from work.
