davesag 's review for:

Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin

4.0

OMFG I remember reading this book but never ever could remember who wrote it, and I lost, or either never owned the copy I read. I loved this book. The sense of gothic that pervaded it, the underground dankness, the glitter and light and carts carried by spiders. This is North American magical realism at it's finest.



Part ghost story, part fantasy, part rip-snorting adventure; I can't even begin to describe how by heart leapt just then seeing its title pop up while browsing for books.
