“Winner of the Costa Award.
Canada 1865. What the author does well is give a vision of this frozen setting with splendid vividness.
Took me to long to read it which makes me think it’s not as good as everyone says it is.

First novel since The Curious Incident of the Of the Dog in the Nighttime.
Not a crossover book though. He is a good writer.
Retired and with a dysfunctional family, this has a cast of great characters. It takes time to get to know and like them all but well worth it.
Funny and sad, thought provoking but never shocking.

This book has been sweeping the world, based on the power of positive thinking, this is her spin on it, except she calls it The Law of Attraction. So send positive vibes into the universe and you will be granted your wishes. Load of rubbish.
