Helpful Score: 3
My love affair with Kristin Hannah began with Firefly Lane. I have since read a few others, and by far, Winter Garden is my favorite.
Winter Garden is the story of 2 estranged daughters who return home to care for their "cold and indifferent" mother, after the death of their beloved father. On his deathbed, Meridith promises her father to take care of her mother, and Nina promises to get the mother to finish "the fairytale" she told them when they were small. Neither girls feel they will be able to honor his wishes.
A masterful story within a story, as the girls try to fullfill their promises, they learn about their mother, and hence themselves.
What results is a gripping read. Though a little slow at first, eventually I couldn't put it down.
Best book I've read in a long time. Highly recommend!!
