Amazing! If only there were more stars to give.
This story, featuring alchemy, mystery, adventure, and a liberal dash of hope and love will work its magic on your heart.
Lettie Peppercorn is a young girl who lives out her days in her house on stilts in a harbor town. She cannot go outside, her Ma has told her so in a letter carried to her by pigeon from afar. Right before her Ma disappears forever.
Thus our story opens.
Plagued by the drab life of "landlady", acting in her father's stead while he drinks and gambles away the meager earnings, Lettie is intrigued by a mysterious stranger who appears one evening, known as only as "Snow Merchant". He claims to be the greatest alchemist ever to have lived and wishes to sell her something not seen before; snow. But what is his intention? And what is his connection to Lettie's long lost Ma?
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Enjoyable for adults and children, read it aloud to someone you love as soon as possible.
This book was
received as a digital ARC through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest
review. Thank you for the opportunity.
