Who was Faina? Was she human? Was she a fairy? Was she magic? I still can't answer these questions. Set in the wildness of frontier Alaska in the 1920's, an older, childless couple is found by a mysterious girl. The girl comes and goes with the snow. The mystery child's tale is interwoven with an old Russian fairy tale of a snow child. This novel explores love, longing, faithfulness, and death in an intriguing way. The timeless themes are set in a beautiful, but harsh place. This was an excellent book!
