THE SNOW CHILD

by EOWYN IVEY

SYNOPSIS:
   Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart–he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season’s first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone–but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees.
This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading 

This week’s question:
Did you do any reading in lieu of watching the football game, yesterday, or were you foregoing reading to watch the game? If you read a book (or books) what did you choose?
My response:
Since I participated in a read-a-thon this weekend, I did read all afternoon.  However, once the game started and my husband made is traditional chili, I watched the first half and the half time show with him.   I felt I HAD to since I am from New England.  I know very little about the sport but was rooting for the “home team”.  Second half, I did a little of both.  I was hoping to finish my current read, which is an ARC from Meryl L. Moss Media, The Legacy of Eden by Nelle Davy.

 

February is being hosted by Metro Reader

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books and is now on tour.

According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
Empty mailbox this week.

The hosts for the wickedly wonderful weekend of reading are
Rebecca From Kindle Fire
and
April of My Shelf Confessions.
Wrap Up:  330 pages/360
Congratulations to those that participated!!!!
I know I didn’t even come close as to what others accomplished but for me, I was happy.  This is the 2nd read-a-thon this year that I actually was able to read.  In past years, something always interfered.  I was hoping to finish a book, came close, but did make a huge dent.  Almost…but the eyes just got tired.
