Customer Reviews

Simply Wonderful

This is a highly overlooked book. It's one of the best coming of age novels from the female perspective. Sheila is a young woman growing up during a time when women were suppressed. She deals with family, relationships, love, and sexuality, as well as working towards a career in a day when a lot of men wanted women to be just wives. Very empowering.

Much acclaim

Set in the mid 1940s, SNOW APPLES tells of a girl's determination to pursue a forbidden romance against the wishes of her watchful mother. Her obsession with Nels pries at the heart of her powerful connection to her mother. SNOW APPLES appeared in 1984 in Canada only to much acclaim: its first appearance here in the US should earn it equal merit. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
