The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() The next morning, all trace of her has disappeared, and Jack can't quite shake the notion that he glimpsed a small figure - a child? - running through the spruce trees in the dawn light. In a moment of tenderness, the pair are surprised to find themselves building a snowman - or rather a snow girl - together. ![]() The evening the first snow falls, their mood unaccountably changes. But as the days grow shorter, Jack is losing his battle to clear the land, and Mabel can no longer contain her grief for the baby she lost many years before. Jack and Mabel have staked everything on making a fresh start for themselves in a homestead 'at the world's edge' in the raw Alaskan wilderness. A bewitching tale of heartbreak and hope set in 1920s Alaska. ![]() SIGNED LINED & DATED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. ![]()
