It is a remarkable accomplishment -- a combination of the most delicate, ethereal, fairytale magic and the harsh realities of homesteading in the Alaskan wilderness in 1918. Stunningly conceived, beautifully told, this story has the intricate fragility of a snowflake and the natural honesty of the dirt beneath your feet, the unnerving reality of a dream in the night. It fascinates, it touches the heart. It gallops along even as it takes time to pause at the wonder of life and the world in which we live. And it will stir you up and stay with you for a long, long time."--Robert Goolrick, New York Times bestselling author of A Reliable Wife

The snow child by Eowyn Ivey, this year’s Deschutes County Library Novel Idea selection and winner of the PNBA Award, is one of the most assured debut novels I have read. The writing is haunting and beautiful; it updates a Russian fairytale to 1920’s Alaska. Mabel and Jack have tried to come to terms with being childless. They left their boisterous family behind on the east coast for the quiet loneliness of remote Alaska. Creating a farm out of this unforgiving land is a tough job for the young; it is hard, weary going for middle aged Mabel and Jack. Grasping for a moment of joy out of the first snowfall of the year, they build a snow girl in the yard. The next morning the snow is gone, but a blond girl, like a snow sprite, is glimpsed near the trees. They come to love the young girl as their own child, but you know fairy tales are not without danger. Sunriver’s talented quilters have created beautiful quilts representing the book. The quilts will be on display at Sunriver Books & Music through Labor Day. They are quite impressive, there is a hauntingly beautiful depiction of trees in falling snow against a dark background, very stark and beautiful, another quilt depicts a gorgeous red fox, a third quilt has scenes from the story against a brilliant blue background. And there are many more, all beautiful and representative of this award winning story. Please do stop by Sunriver Books & Music to view this impressive display. Here is information from the quilting guild. The Mountain Meadow Quilt Guild of Sunriver will hold its 25th annual Quilt Show and Sale on Saturday, August 3 at The Village in Sunriver from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. More than 300 quilts will be displayed in a beautiful outdoor setting. Hundreds of hand made items will be for sale to benefit the guild’s educational programs and charities. There will be several special exhibits. From mid July until after Labor Day the exhibit of eleven quilts influenced by Eowyn Ivey’s Snow child will be displayed in Sunriver Books and Music. All of the quilts were made by MMQ members and were previously displayed at Quiltworks when Ivey visited Central Oregon as part of the Deschutes Public Library Foundations’ A Novel Idea, which is in the 10th year of the Read Together program. Each year, the foundation selects one book and the 2013 book is The snow child. For more information about other special exhibits, go to www.mtnmeadowquilters.org .
