Describe the plot without giving anything away.
A twelve year old and her father go for a walk in the snow through the forest near their remote home and find an abandoned new born baby. The book explores the effect this unusual event has on them during the next few weeks and the reason why they live in such a remote place.
What did you think of the characters and style?
I am so impressed with Anita Shreve’s ability to get inside the heads of such a wide range of characters. Each book that I have read so far has been exceptional and her skill at drawing on the emotions is first class, as is her prose.
What did you like most about the book?
It’s credibility.
Thoughts on the book jacket / cover.
Not exceptional.
Would I recommend it?
Yes.
