Description
A heartstopping and beautifully original reworking of Beauty and the Beast set in contemporary Alaska, from the internationally bestselling author of The Snow Child.
'I read with my heart in my mouth, filled with wonder' Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
'Dazzling and moving' Tiffany McDaniel, author of Betty
Birdie's keeping it together, of course she is. So she's a little hungover on her shifts, and has to bring her daughter to the lodge while she waits tables, but Emaleen never goes hungry. It's a tough town to be a single mother, and Birdie just needs to get by.
And then Birdie meets Arthur, who is quieter than most men, but makes her want to listen; who is gentle with Emaleen, and understands Birdie's fascination with the mountains in whose shadow they live. When Arthur asks Birdie and Emaleen to leave the lodge and make a home, just the three of them, in his off-grid cabin, Birdie's answer, in a heartbeat, is yes.
Out in the wilderness Birdie's days are harsher and richer than she ever imagined possible. Here she will feel truly at one with nature. Here she, and Emaleen, will learn the whole, fearful truth about Arthur.

Excuse me a second whilst I just wipe the tears away from my eyes.
I'm not even sure who I'm crying for Emaleen, Birdie, Arthur or Warren.
Possibly all of them.
Ivey's books always have a magical quality about them, and she is consistently amazing in her storytelling.
There's such warm hearted moments in this book, and heart breaking one's.
It's beautiful.
