The Snow Child
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Alaska, the 1920s. Jack and Mabel have staked everything on a fresh start in a remote homestead, but the wilderness is a stark place, and Mabel is haunted by the baby she lost many years before. When a little girl appears mysteriously on their land, each is filled with wonder, but also foreboding – is she what she seems, and can they find room in their hearts for her?
The Snow Child was a Sunday Times bestseller and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
