An Echo Through the Snow
“Andrea Thalasinos has written a sensitive and engaging story which beautifully illustrates the ancient human/canine bond. Her rendering of the little known story of the Chukchi people of Siberia is heart-wrenching and uplifting at the same time. The interwoven stories of Jeaantaa and Rosalie and the dogs that mean so much to them is destined to become a classic.”—Susan Wilson,New York Timesbestselling author ofOne Good Dog“The author's love of dogs and the land come shining through in this compelling and evocative novel. Don't pick it up unless you're able to step on the sled, listen to the panting of the dogs and the thump of their paws on the trail while you enjoy the ride—I read it straight through and couldn't put it down.”—Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. author ofThe Other End of the Leash“Powerful debut...stark, gorgeous prose and a timeless story of love realized, lessons learned, and paths taken.”—Booklist (starred review)“Beautifully drawn and emotionally resonant.”—Kirkus Reviews“Delicate and vivid as the beadwork Rosalie works on by night, energetic and fast-paced as the dog teams she handles by day,An Echo Through the Snowis an elaborate weaving of past and present, of two women trapped by their circumstances and determined to set themselves free. I loved this book.”—Michelle Diener, author ofIn a Treacherous Court“If you like dogs, history, and richly drawn characters,An Echo Through the Snowis the book you've been waiting for. Fascinating, and deeply moving.”—Randi Barrow, author ofSaving Zasha
