Elephant Winter | Kim Echlin

3 posts | 1 read

Sophie Walker is back from Africa to nurse her dying mother. Her mother's Ontario farm borders on "Safari"—a tacky tourist spot now deserted for the winter. From her mother's window Sophie sees not cows, or horses, but a group of Indian elephants playing gracefully in the snow. Elephant Winter is a novel about the forms of intimacy, from the turbulent love between a mother and daughter to the fulfilling bond between Sophie and the elephants.

It has been about 15 years since I read Kim Echlin's Elephant Winter. There isn't much that I remember from it. I do remember how it made me feel.

I've picked up the book again. It's tiny. It is my first reread that isn't by Toni Morrison.

I missed this book. The writing is what I need right now

I'm on page 15 and I'm hooked.

I'll be sharing more of my reread experience here as I make my way through it.

PLeonieSmith One of the reasons I love this book is the pace at which their lives are lived. It has a rhythm that feels right. And naturally, it is achieved only in the presence of a crisis like the threat of death of the mother. That's not just true in books. It makes me a little sad to think of this. What we miss in the constant hustle of day to day living. 8y
