I wondered if this quick 26-page short story was somehow connected to her upcoming book One by One, but it definitely is not. It's really not like anything I've read of hers before, but heck, I really liked it. Honestly while reading it, the tone gave me a Shirley Jackson vibe. Ruth Ware packed a lot into just a few pages. The subject matter is sad and distressing, yet a couple of lines put a smirky smile on my face. Read for free on Kindle Unlimited. ( ) Very good short dystopian story. A father and his children have escaped a war to an island and have managed to survive for 10 years separated from the world. But everything’s about to change when they’ve finally been discovered and helicopters land on the island, guns blazing. What happens next is what the story is really about. Very timely story. Things aren't quite what they seem in Snowflakes! This short story is told from the perspective of Leah, a girl whose family lives on a remote island far from the devastated mainland. When her father senses a coming threat, he demands that his children help him build a wall. However his paranoia only escalates as the wall rises. I really like Ruth Ware, but I had mixed feelings about this story. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that it deals with a very real and dark contemporary issue. About halfway through, I figured out what was happening, and it's not something I would choose to read about (a little too grim / real). I listened to this story on Audible, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had actually read it. Snowflakes is a short story, one of six parts in the Hush Collection from Amazon (free with Prime or Kindle Unlimited subscription). The story grabbed my attention and has a twist. My first reaction was this is a dystopian story with father and his children on an island. In the end I am not sure what to make of it. I'm sure there's a hidden message that is thought provoking that's not getting through to me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
