Join us for an evening with the author of The Snow Child . Eowyn Ivey visiting us from Alaska. In conversation & book signing at Linghams.
We are super thrilled to welcome the author of The Snow Child, Black Woods Blue Sky is coming to HESWALL!!
From the author of million-copy bestseller, The Snow Child, comes BLACK WOODS, BLUE SKY, a novel about the beauty and terror of the Alaskan wilderness, the love between a mother and a daughter, and what it means to face down our fears and survive them.
Birdie's keeping it together, of course she is. So she's a little hungover on her shifts at times, 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. BLACK WOODS, BLUE SKY is a daring reimagining of the legend of Beauty and the Beast, that asks the question: can love save us from ourselves.
Eowyn is over for for two events in the UK and we are one of them!!
