Certainly a well-written book, but I struggled to connect with the protagonist and therefore the story line and development fell a little flat.
I have to admit this was not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would be a fairytale retelling. Nope. I wasn't even sure I like it, but I was compelled to keep going and it paid off. I was maybe halfway through before I understood what was going on. I ended up really getting into the story. It's well done. But also a little weird. I don't like double talk, it is confirmed.
The Snow Hare is a beautifully written story of a Polish woman at the end of her life as she remembers her past and the love she experienced during her lifetime.
It was a bit disorienting in the beginning, but once I knew what was happening, I became engrossed in her story. Living in Poland when the Soviets invaded, her life was turned upside down when her family was sent to a Siberian camp.
As she recounts her years, readers will meet a young woman with dreams of becoming a doctor, a reluctant bride and later a young mother with a fierce love for her child. As she ages, her heart softens and it seems she has a bigger capacity for love. The proof of this is how her life has settled as she lays dying. The loved ones by her side are her reward for a life well lived—one of heartache, love and forgiveness.
This was a wonderful story for the snowy, rainy days we have been having and has a calming, yet sober tone overall.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Little, Brown & Company for allowing me to read an advance copy. I am happy to offer my honest review and recommend this book to readers.… (mehr)
