As Simple As Snow
by celesteh
A young man becomes entranced with the spooky new girl at his small town high school, Anna Cayne. As Anna and the unnamed narrator’s relationship progresses, he finds himself entirely absorbed in her strange world full of ghosts, puzzles and codes – not to mention the obituaries that she’s been writing for everyone in the whole town. When Anna disappears on Valentine’s Day, the narrator struggles to decipher the clues left behind to find her – and meanwhile, everyone in town seems to have plenty of secrets of their own. As Simple as Snow by Gregory Galloway is a dramatic, but often funny, coming-of-age story that is so steeped in clues and mystery it has developed somewhat of a cult following. It is not a ‘typical’ novel or mystery by any means – and some who prefer a neatly wrapped package may find the story a source of frustration. However, As Simple as Snow may haunt you, long after the novel is over…and you may find yourself reading again, wondering…are the answers all here?
