A review by kristine_9
A Meal in Winter by Hubert Mingarelli

4.0

I really liked the writing; it was simple but effective, with imagery that never felt out of place. Also the way cold and hunger were described reminded me of stories about gulags written by people who experienced it themselves, so I thought that was very well done.

I also enjoyed the characters, the bonds and the tension between them.

My only issue is I don't know enough to determine how realistic the novella is. However, I think either way it brings important questions to mind whilst reading. For me this meant thinking about compliance and accountability.
