You did not have to understand miracles to believe in them, and in fact Mabel had come to suspect the opposite. To believe, perhaps you had to cease looking for explanations and instead hold the little thing in your hands as long as you were able before it slipped like water between your fingers.
For some reason I am finding it really hard to write my review for this book. I'm not really sure why - I really enjoyed it.
It was easy to read, but was written in a way that made me look for deeper meaning in what was being said.
I loved that there was a supernatural theme that surrounded Faina - she was a little girl who lived in the snowy Alaskan woods, but there was some magical force around her and the snow right through to the very last sentence.
Mabel transforms throughout the story - she starts off 'grey' and depressed, but slowly the life comes back to her and the love rekindled in her marriage. By the end of the story she is a strong woman.
Very well written and a lovely read on a cold wintery weekend.
