Winter Garden

I absolutely LOVE Kristin Hannah. I do not know how she does it. You think you are reading a book about one thing and bam! it becomes so much deeper than that.
This novel was a story within a story of so much love and loss that it separated a family, emotionally, for many years. Then the father, the glue of the family, dies and little by little the mom starts revealing her life in Soviet Russia before she met their father. It starts out as a fairy tale but then it takes a more realistic turn.
I cried throughout the book but more towards the end. Hannah splits your gut and your soul in the best way possible.

Thank you, Joe. Hope you’re doing well
I loved this book too! I want to re-read it at some point.
Yes Sheri! Hannah is fantastic. She really knows how to tell a story
Aww, sounds like a book that got to you, Karina :)) Lovely review :)
Terrific review, Karina! So glad to see that this author delivers for you every time! I haven't read anything by Hannah yet, so I added this to my tbr! :)
Thank you, Beata! It was a good one. Sorry for delay!
Lovely review, Karina! A colleague recommended this one when she saw me reading The Four Winds (the only Hannah book I've read so far!)
Great review! I have this on my tbr - this winter for sure I'm going to finally get to it!
Thank you Debbie! I read the Four Winds and loved it. Maybe you will like Winter. It’s a past and present generational book if you’re into those.
Thanks Smalltownbookmom. Perfect time to read it. Hopefully your winter is a better one than a Soviet winter. 🥶
Oh, I have not read one of her books yet but I completely believe you. If it starts like a fairytale then it would suck me in for sure. I would be trapped. I would cry too. I might try it but thanks for the hurt alert. I really like how you explained this. I read reviews for this author all the time but no one has been quite this convincing. ;)
Hi Shaina! Your new profile picture and your name confused me girlie! Lol… Thanks for your nice comments!
Great review, Karina! I’ve loved the 3 KH books I’ve read so far and plan to read this one soon! :)
Thank you, Brandice! That’s great you’ve had 3 good ones in a row with her. Some are hit or miss… I’ll be looking out for your review
Hi Karina,I enjoyed two other KH books but there were things that bothered me about this one. Should I keep my thoughts to myself?
