Eowyn Ivey's debut novel The Snow Child is a beautiful journey into the imagination and the wilds of Alaska. Incorporating the Russian fairytale, the Snow Maiden, Ivey breaths new life into an old tale, and lets live the idea that hope (along with a child) can spring from even the most harsh and hopeless of circumstances. This book gives a very real glimpse into the struggles of infertility and feeling the loss of a child. It was a finalist for a pulitzer in 2013. There are spoilers in this bookclub chat, so read the book before you give it a listen. You'll be glad you did! Here to discuss this book with us is English professor Lizzy Jones.
