More than anything, Mabel desired to have a child, defining herself through the view of motherhood - but all she and Jack have is the memory of a tiny deformed stillborn, the one that Mabel hasn't even had a chance to say goodbye to as Jack (with the best intentions, sadly) quickly took it away for a silent nighttime burial. There is a special kind of emptiness in a marriage, when both the partners long for a child without success. Then one night they decide to tuck their loneliness away and venture outside and play as if they were children themselves. Originally titled ‘La Chica de Nieve,’ Netflix’s Spanish series‘The Snow Girl’ revolves around the disappearance of Amaya Martín, the daughter of Ana and Álvaro. Spain continues to develop new shows for the international market, and Netflix has been pivotal in making the European country, an incredible pool of talent to pull from.It is the kind of novel that I sometimes have trouble with, the kind not concerned with action or drama, but more subdued and subtle. Mabel was a well-educated, sheltered girl, but when she and Jack lost their baby and have had none since, she urged him to make the change. And here they are, in Alaska, still grieving, still drifting apart, Mabel suicidal in her depression, Jack preoccupied with simply trying to provide sustenance to his family, and things have never looked bleaker for the two of them. Ivey’s story is both captivating and chilling to the core as the reader sees just how precarious life can be and the fragility of familial bonds.

He tries to allow all aspects of a film to get into his reviews: from the actors, the direction, the storytelling, and its mechanics, the sound, music, and the cinematography. The performances are weird, but Milena Smit comes out on top as the most consistent performer, and thus, her characters serve as a good point of view from which to experience the entire story.Leaving us questioning the mysteries surrounding this so real story that had us hovering between reality and fantasy. And it is that, unlike with other books, this one in particular was not going to be part of any saga, so we are talking about a book with a beginning and an end, without more. At the end, I found myself believing Jack, Mabel, Faina and the cast of supportive neighbors--pragmatic George, boisterous Esther and their helpful wide-eyed son Garrett--really existed somewhere, somehow.
