The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
Magical narrative that is realistic in its depiction of 1920s Alaska homesteaders... "the imagery is as crisp and as glistening as a winter apple." During the season's first snowfall, jack and Mabel build a snow girl, but the next morning the snow child is gone---but a trail of tiny footprints remain....
Touch by Alexi Zentner
Zentner's exquisite novel reveals a woodland world that asks to be remembered for what it was before men and their axes reduced it and all it contained---real and surreal---to shadow..... Here the wilderness, of the woods and of the soul, is a place with which to be reckoned.
