Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin

3.0

An experience. I found it really hard to understand and push through the beginning and the heavily descriptive language but it picked up as we were introduced to new characters and learn more of their stories as opposed to just setting the scene. Being an impatient reader, I skimmed a lot--it's a long book! The magical mystery fate part was kind of appealing to me, but could easily turn someone else off. The ending was definitely less than satisfying: vague and inconclusive
