Sweet, Gently Unfolding, & Poignant

Book Review of The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

I’ve sat on this book review for about a week after finishing. I listened to the book, and it was a great production. But when I finished, I wasn’t truly certain how I felt. Sometimes that happens, further feelings develop over the next few hours, days, or even weeks. With this one, I’m left in the same place I was when I finished the story.

The Snow Child is highly literary and a emotional read. The story unfolds slowly, and it’s all about a deep human experience. Much like The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, this type of story reaches and speaks to people in a certain stage of their lives. It’s a great read overall, but how much people will like it is pretty well tied to their own personal experiences–past, but preferably present. This story will likely speak better to women, and those who have been through some difficulties with bearing children.
