Book Review: Winter Garden

get it here

Kristin Hannah is known for her excellent tear-jerkers. Winter Garden is no exception. The book’s about the consequences of an absence of a mothers love on two sisters, Meredith and Nina. Meredith is closed off to everyone and Nina runs away from everyone.  It’s easy to see why, after the way their mother, Anya, treats them though.  Anya was hard to like. From the beginning, you can tell she has a deep dark secret which is the reason why she is so detached from her daughters. It was difficult to excuse her behavior towards her daughters, even after you find out her awful, I mean down right horrific story.  The beginning was a little slow, but grabbed you by the heart soon afterwards. Good read for a cold night while cuddled up under a blanket.
