I really really wanted to love this book. So many others have found solace and just a hunkering down to winter with her words and atmosphere. It felt like a Kate Morton book but no mystery. All the feels and atmosphere.

What didn’t work for me were the moral issues involved in the characters. I get it she isn’t a Christian author and her worldview is different, but for me that was a hang up when so much played off of that.

So go in with that caveat and savor the work of art, the feeling of safety and the beauty of words.
