Today is my stop on the Random Things blog tour for Black Woods Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey.
The Snow Child is one of my all time favourite books and I couldn’t wait to read Black Woods Blue Sky.
Birdie is doing her best to raise her young daughter Emaleen and is working hard at a local bar, but life is tough. They are living in a single cabin room and Birdie is juggling everything just to try and keep on top of things.
Then Birdie meets Arthur and everything changes. Arthur is quiet and listens to everything. Suddenly Birdie feels different and when Arthur asks them to move in with them at his remote cabin in the mountains, Birdie doesn’t hesitate.
In the mountains, their lives change as they live with in the wilderness and learn to become at one with nature.
However, Arthur has a secret and as they start to settle into life at the cabin, both Emaleen and Birdie notice some strange goings on. As they settle in they must confront who Arthur is and how he lives his life.
This is such a beautifully written book that transports you to the Alaskan wilderness. It is a deep and mesmerising story of survival, love, motherhood and learning to forgive.
