Review of 'Moon of the Crusted Snow' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Great book. Forcible change as ʼcivilizationʼ fails (read the same week as I read "Braiding Sweetgrass", so the ancient story of Windigo is illuminated in different ways). This is a story of a young family managing to cope with the winter when electricity, food deliveries, communication links fail. Characters are accurately drawn, with strengths and weaknesses leading to consequences. I am not living in that geographical area, so am relying on my Outsider perception of accuracy in council, welfare, forcible removal, and language reclamation.
