This is the story of a Russian sister and brother who struggle to survive with their respective families after immigrating to Canada. The laws are as brutal as the winter weather. This book conjures up images of other Russian tragedies and makes one consider the nature of "choice", "freedom", "character" and "faith". It made me remember being told that "Money doesn't matter", a myth that only the middle and upper class could sincerely perpetuate. A deep and painful read.
