Two men need to survive the harsh winter in a isolated cottage on a mountain.
Great prose, great style, great story! Guay-Poliquin has created a fictional world that just sucks you in. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Two strangers trapped together in a tiny forest village by a brutal winter, dependent upon each other for survival. Trust is a fickle thing.

I had to force myself to slow down! I‘m so glad I picked this book up on a whim. The writing is poetic, which means the translation is excellent!

Tamra Based on what I read on Goodreads about his earlier novel, I think the tagged book is a sequel. (edited) 5y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Right up my alley! Stacking! And will check on the other book too! 5y
Tamra @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled honestly I‘m afraid to read the other in case I don‘t like it - I don‘t want to ruin this read! 😜 The other one might be a lot more dystopia focused, which isn‘t my favorite genre. 5y

My annual mother‘s day book haul. 😄 It is tradition to head over to Northfield, MN for Indian lunch and bookstore browsing. Yay for Content books!

P.S. the kids got several graphic novels, so technically they fared better than me. In particular they love Raina Telgemeier‘s novels so much I gave in and bought them instead of borrowing again.

saresmoore Raina Telgemeier has become a pre-order author, ‘round here. 5y
Tamra @saresmoore is something new on the horizon? 5y
saresmoore I haven‘t heard what‘s coming next, but she just released an interactive journaling/writing inspiration book, called 5y

Tamra @saresmoore I saw that today but didn‘t look thru it. I should because my daughter is into writing her own stories & illustrating - as much as a 9 year old can. 🙂 5y
saresmoore Yes! I‘d say definitely look into it. My 10yo is really enjoying it. 5y
Tamra @saresmoore I will order it. Thanks for the rec! 5y
Christine Aww, yay Northfield! I‘m a St. Olaf alum. 5y
Tamra @Christine such a cute place! We love Chapatis. 😋 5y
