The Winter Sister
By Megan Collins
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️/5
This debut novel by Megan Collins was a wonderful, unexpected surprise. I had not heard of this book, seen it reviewed anywhere, but saw it as a debut option on my @bookofthemonth app and I am so glad I ordered it!
Persephone, named from Greek mythology, died on a cold, snowy night when she’d barely had time to live. Sneaking out to see her boyfriend, who she was forbidden to see, left one night and that was the last night her sister, Sylvie saw her alive.
Sixteen years later, Sylvie returns home to care for her estranged mother- diagnosed with cancer. Their relationship and the unsolved case and lack of closure, take Sylvie back to places she doesn’t want to go. And to add fuel to the fire, the forbidden boyfriend (Ben) of old, was a nurse at the cancer center where her mom was being treated. Talk about a recipe for an emotional volcano.
Why did she keep her sister’s secrets?
Why did the case remain unsolved?
How could Ben be entrusted to care for sick people in pain?
Why did her mother shut her off?
As Sylvie traverses all the memories, revelations, and secrets she herself has guarded– you are taken on a journey that will leave you desperately wanting to know what happened.
And let me tell you fellow reader, You don’t have it figured out. You don’t have it figured out at all.
Book Quote: “I believed that you could love someone so much, and still, you could hurt them. I believed that a heart could pound with pain and love at exactly the same time.”
