Publisher Description

Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photo journalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, these two estranged women will find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now, offers no comfort to her daughters. On his deathbed, their father extracts one last promise from the women in his life.

It begins with a story that is unlike anything the sisters have heard before - a captivating, mysterious love story that spans sixty-five years and moves from frozen, war torn Leningrad to modern-day Alaska. The vividly imagined tale brings these three women together in a way that none could have expected. Meredith and Nina will finally learn the secret of their mother's past and uncover a truth so terrible it will shake the foundation of their family and change who they think they are.

Every once in a while a writer comes along who navigates the complex and layered landscape of the
human heart. For this generation, it's Kristin Hannah. Mesmerizing from the first page to the last, Winter Garden is an evocative, lyrically-written novel that will long be remembered.

Slow burn but worth the read

Good read, it takes a while to get into the story and the challenges with the mother only come to light late in the book. Overall an enjoyable read if you stuck with it.

Winter Garden

À devastating life of tragedy lived throughout a woman’s life; unable to project her love of her remaining daughters due to the massive upheaval caused by the devastating loss of contact with both her first husband and their children, due to extreme war privations.

Breathtaking

I love being transported into a world I knew nothing of. You forget all the stories from different countries many faced during WW2. Women are amazing
