The Snow Song - Sally Gardner

"Edith lives alone with her alcoholic father who is forcing her to marry the village butcher. But she is in love with a shepherd who promised to return to her. As the village becomes isolated in a sea of snow, Edith loses her power of speech"

I was immediately drawn to this book by its stunning cover and not really knowing much more about it, however there is such a mixture of darkness and magic within that it takes you to another world. With aspects such as Edith's hair turning white and her losing her voice, it feels other-worldly. The setting in the magical white snow, feels perfect for a fairy tale like read. It really is beautifully written and I think it would be an excellent book for all ages.

Many thanks to NetGalley and publishers for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy and review this book!
