Publisher Description

A young chef stumbles on a secret family recipe that might lead her to the love—and life—she’s been looking for in this stunning novel from the New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December.

A POPSUGAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR


When Iris decides to move to New York to restart her life, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is—all the nostalgic movies set in New York she’d watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe gelato didn’t quite do it justice. 

But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s?

Curious, Iris returns the next day and meets the handsome Gio, who tells her that the shop is in danger of closing. His uncle, sole keeper of their family’s gelato recipe, is in a coma, so they can’t make more. When Iris samples the last remaining batch, she realizes that their gelato and her gelato are one and the same. But how can she tell them she knows their secret recipe when she’s not sure why Gio’s uncle gave it to her mother in the first place?

Iris offers her services as a chef to help them re-create the flavor and finds herself falling for Gio and his family. But when Gio’s uncle finally wakes up, all of the secrets Iris has been keeping threaten to ruin the new life—and new love—she’s been building all winter long.

A nostalgic and cozy holiday romance

A Winter in New York by Josie Silver is a nostalgic and cozy holiday romance set against the backdrop of bustling New York City. This book will leave you craving for a scoop of gelato, so be sure to have some on standby! This tale of love, family secrets, and new beginnings is a perfect choice for fans of Emily Stone and Jenny Bayliss. This was my first encounter with Josie Silver's work, but I'm eager to explore her other titles, including One Day in December and The Two Lives of Lydia Bird.

So very good

I would love to tell the person that wrote the review for publishers weekly that he or she is so wrong about this book. It’s sentimental heartfelt and at times too realistic (the scene in the alley abuse comes in all forms). It’s a wonderful book with a happy ending for Iris because she finally had peace and family who love her and will fight for her. I will read this again very soon - we should all experience & love a Gio.

Read this book now!

Read this book if you’re Italian, if you’re British, if you’re neither, if you have fond memories of New York, if you’ve ever been scared and lonely, if your mom is gone and you miss her more then you can describe or just because this is an amazing book that’s incredibly well written. I was in high school in the 80s and I’ve never read a novel with a subplot from my teen years so that was wonderful. But the big Italian family was the hook for me. This book was raw and beautiful and comforting. It flowed seamlessly, even in the difficult plot sections, which thankfully, didn’t drag on for chapters. I was shocked to find out the author wasn’t Italian and has never been to NYC. She got everything right! I felt guilty getting this i-book for 1.99 because, how is that compensation for what this author has produced? So I’m buying a hardback for my “best books” bookshelf. This book was a winter treat!
