La niña de nieve

This book is so beautiful.

The writing is very descriptive and very poignant. While reading it felt as if the words were painting a gorgeous white, frozen landscape.

From the beginning the setting creates a mood that is mantained throughout the whole book and complements with the characters in a wonderful way. There isn't much of a plot but the characters fill the story perfectly. They're so real and flawed, so simply human—it's beautiful.

The story is part fairy tale part historical fiction but I think this book is more about family, love, friendship, hope, survival and the strength and will to live than about the fairy tale. 

It's definitely one of the best books I've read this year.
