Winter Garden

My uncle loves this book. Received in good condition and packaging is fine.

The book is slow for first half of the book... it almost feels like giving up but the story told inside the story is far more interesting than the book and it kept me going. The last half of the story is so unexpected and sad. Worth the read.

One of the saddest, purest, and most beautiful stories I have ever read. A story about love, loss, sacrifice, and unimaginable strength. Once I picked it up, it took all my determination to put it down even for a while. The author succeeds in touching all the soft corners of the heart and how! I'm not sure if it's an underrated book but it DEFINITELY doesn't deserve to be.

The books gives an insight into the aftermath of War, the unprecedented loss of human lives,hunger and uncertainties which follow bring the realisation that the world is a much better place than before ( though a lot needs to be done ! ) The pace is little slow in the beginning but picks up soon and then the book is totally unputdownable

This book is absolutely perfect,from the cover to the story. Drawn by the beautifully intriguing cover,I grabbed this book ,only to fall in love with it. The book is an amazing exploration of how a person's past is effectual in determining his/her present relationships,of how pain changes people. The mother who appears to be a cold,disapproving woman,is later shown to have suffered unimaginably,during the communist purge in Russia,offering the daughters a new perspective on their previously strained relationship with their mother. The book reads like a unique fairytale, with pain,forgiveness and hope unflinchingly explored. It will leave you with a warm feeling,in the midst of even the most bitter of winters. Absolutely beautiful

Makes you feel sad.. but an awesome read!! Must buy this book - as all Kristen Hannah books are great!!

Amazing

It is quite a heavy book ... emotionally ... leads u to think and question the need of war.... read on

That intertwines the complexities of family dynamics with the harsh realities of war. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the author crafts a narrative that effortlessly transports readers into the life of the characters, evoking a wide range of emotions. The story’s dual timeline adds depth and intrigue, keeping readers engaged until the very end. With beautifully written prose and richly developed characters “winter garden” is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring strength of the human spirit, it’s definitely a 5star read for anyone seeking a powerful and unforgettable story … may or may not be a historical and contemporary fiction … a story that is exploring the hard history and human connection to remember it …

Great holiday reading! What intriguing relationships between the characters! Interesting to see what happenings force certain characters to reveal inner feelings!

Loved the book and how it was written. I will definitely look for more books by Kristin Hannah as this is the first of her books I have read.

Lectura obligada, excelente descripción del invierno ruso durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La autora sabe llevar la historia de la mujer rusa del presente al pasado

Dalle pagine di questo romanzo passano le vite delle persone, tantissime, troppe, che morirono letteralmente di fame nel lungo assedio di Leningrado, spesso dimenticato dai libri di storia. La trama è avvincente, vi consiglio di leggerlo
