In addition, the author is very happy because The Snow Girl is not the only adaptation of his novels. Also, in this case, through Globomedia and DeAPlaneta, they are working on a series that will encompass the author's first two novels: "The day that madness was lost" and "The day that love was lost." Nothing is known about them so far, but surely news about them will soon arrive. Castillo commented: “I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming global success of The Snow Girl and the amazing support it has received from readers all over the world. The opportunity to collaborate and publish with Penguin Michael Joseph on this journey is an absolute blessing, and I am filled with enthusiasm to bring my beloved character, Miren Triggs, to readers in the UK and Commonwealth.” We have to warn you that, as with many other books, The Snow Girl is also going to be adapted to a real image. Specifically, it has been Netflix who has been interested to get the rights and record a series.

This is not an uncommon beginning to folk tales, a simple introductory line which can (and in Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child does) condense into a few simple words the years of pain, sadness, and intense longing for something that nature refused to give despite desperate desire. "Where else in life, Mabel wondered, could a woman love so openly and with such abandon?" The Snow Child is based on an ancient Russian fairy tale, and like any good fairy tale, it touches the edges between what is real and what is imagined. Eowyn Ivey commands the language in such a beautiful, moving way, that it would almost not matter if the story was not spectacular. But, never fear, she couples all that almost poetic language with a story that is moving and captivating and mysterious. This is the kind of magical realism I can buy into. It is like good slight of hand, you cannot stop yourself from believing what you see, or in this case what you read. Five-year-old Amaya disappears during a Twelfth Night parade inMálaga, Spain, leaving her parents,Ana and Álvaro, absolutely distraught. The Snow Girl begins on Jan. 5, 2010, the day Amaya went missing. At one point during the parade, Amaya’s dad,Álvaro, takes her to buy a balloon. The man selling them is sketchy and attempts to con Álvaro, causing him to take his eyes off Amaya for just one second to count the money. In that brief moment, Amaya wanders away from him, and someone abducts her. It shows Kiera, alive and well, playing in a bedroom. Several more videos arrive, always showing Kiera in that same room. Until a final video arrives. It’s the same bedroom – but Kiera is gone. Miren is determined not to let Kiera disappear again. But someone doesn’t want Kiera to be found – and will do whatever it takes to stop Miren in her pursuit.”This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness.

We both loved the fantasy and magical aspect of this story which made it a thoroughly pleasurable reading experience!We follow the characters with bated breath as they move along their pre-ordained paths - but the end, when it comes, is refreshingly different from yet absolutely faithful to the original. I will leave it at that. A big part of getting into a show or movie is to be able to place a veil between the reality of our world and the reality of the show. We should have the chance to believe that what is happening inside the show is real and could be happening in the real world as well. However, the acting and the way some characters are written break this illusion, and you can definitely feel that these are just actors delivering their lines. Maybe it is all about the rhythm in the dialogue, it makes it feel like the actors a remembering their lines instead of just saying them because that is what their characters were thinking. Faina, the 'orphaned wild child', brings hope - and and zesty-energy to everyone in the community. She and her red fox disappear in the summer, return in the winter. There's something about this novel that is just plain sad. Even when nothing particularly sad seems to be happening. It's a tone that the story never shakes and perhaps it is something to do with the description of the freezing and isolated environment that made me feel like I should prepare to burst into tears at any second. I can't say for sure whether this book was supposed to be a lesson in how you cannot run away from your problems, or how bottling things up and shutting people out never works, but I can say that I took a little bit of all of this from the story.
