A homesteading couple's desire for a family coincides the difficulty of the homesteading life to create a beautiful story.
review:
The prose and character development in this novel were amazing, it really made me want to read more by Ivey, but this is her first novel, so I will have to wait. The story is beautiful, it touches on everything from loss to neighbour relationships to the more general friendship. It is centred around a fairy tale, about a girl who, even by the end of the book, you aren't sure about... is she real or a mass delusion (fairy tale). The main couple are wonderfully developed and I loved them both from the start. Ivey is amazing at drawing you in through the beauty of her words. The language of the novel calms the plot, but I didn't mind it because every page is beautiful.
7/10
I actually can not think of anything comparable to this novel, if you have any ideas comment please.
