Review of Alexandra Grunberg, “Blue Lips and Frozen Lashes”, Luna Station Quarterly 38 (2019): Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Of all the titles in the newest issue of LSQ, this was the one that caught my eye the most, so it’s the one I started with.
Beitris is climbing on Ben Nevis when she discovers a little girl, solitary and separated from anyone else she might have been climbing with. No child should be climbing Ben Nevis alone in winter — this much is clear from Beitris’s reaction upon discovering the little girl, but that same reaction left me wondering what business Beitris herself had being on the mountain too!
Well, dear reader, read and find out — it’s a brief little story, but despite the shortness, it has a nice, satisfying ending.
