Snow

by Cynthia Rylant

A darkly comic, absurdist, and highly original story of one woman's quest to find herself.In the dead of winter, her marriage over, a young woman leaves New York City with her two cats and drives north with little more than a few cans of Spam and the vague hope of reinventing herself from ground zero.Reality becomes as unpredictable as the weather in this debut novel.

Typically I love the poetic prose of Cynthia Rylant, however, her words in this book do not flow quite as well for me beyond the first page. This oversized book as recommended by one of the Memoria Press prkmary grades still has a place on our holidays shelf with other winter and snow themed books as it is gorgeous to behold. The illustrations of snowflakes and crystals throughout are enough to just sit and stare for long moments on end. This book we grabbed today outside of our scheduled rotation as it is snowing out our window. A week before my birthday, and nearly unheard of weather but brilliant and exciting all the same. All of my children, ages 19 months, 4 years, 7 years, and 9 years all enjoy this snuggly read aloud.

I bought this oversize jacketed hardcover book for our shelves based on Memoria Preas recommendation. #classicaleducation #classicalchristianeducation #memoriapress
