The Snow Child

I love stories based on folklore, and had heard good things about this, so I was really excited to read this take on the Russian tale of “Snegurochka”. An older couple who can't have children move to Alaska to forget their woes, and after a night where they build a snowgirl together, they start seeing a child in the woods. I just never got drawn in and thought the attempts to play both sides as to the child's origin worked against the book.
