Winter Garden: A Novel

Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2015--San Antonio

I just finished reading Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah.  Although it starts slowly and took some time for me to get involved in it, the book really comes alive by the mid-point.  Unfortunately, there are two problems keeping it from being great:  1)  One of the main turning points in the book has already served as a shocker in another major book that became a popular film, and 2) The ending seems a bit contrived by including a coincidence that could happen but rarely does.  Overall, I give the book 3 stars out of 4.
