Welcome to Litsy!

A well-written, gripping story of life and survival in harsh climates. The desolation is haunting, the descriptions of loneliness are convincing, the main character not always likeable, but well developed. And then comes the second half of the book. I can‘t even say why I didn‘t like it. Unrealistic maybe? The story felt too long, dragged out? Just barely, barely a pick.

Happy #jolabokaflodswap day to all, and especially @Chili for the lovely gifts and @MaleficentBookDragon for a terrific swap. I‘d forgotten I wanted this book, so it was a splendid surprise! It‘s such a perfect choice for the season. And Cadbury‘s is my favorite; I‘m in heaven. I‘m having coffee in bed opening presents right now, and since we‘re staying close to home for Christmas I have ALL DAY to read. Ahhhh.
