Now a major motion picture from Warner Independent starring Sam Rockwell and Kate Beckinsale
In Stewart O'Nan's Snow Angels, Arthur Parkinson is fourteen during the dreary winter of 1974. Enduring the pain of his parents' divorce, his world is shattered when his beloved former babysitter, Annie, falls victim to a tragic series of events. The interlinking stories of Arthur's unraveling family, and of Annie's fate, form the backdrop of this intimate tale about the price of love and belonging, told in a spare, translucent, and unexpectedly tender voice.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding
I first read "Snow Angels" in 1996 and have read it several times since. O'Nan's first novel introduces us to his signature and masterful narrative voice. O'Nan hits the perfect balance of vulnerability and detachment in his prose that always keeps you wanting more. There are lines in this novel that took my breath away with just a few words. Never overwritten nor sparse, "Snow Angels" begins this talented novelist's career with a bang.
Snow Angels
Beautifully written, heartbreaking and violent, I couldn't put it down.
