Thank you to Henry Holt Books for the opportunity to read such a wonderful book.

Winterland offers the reader a look into life in Soviet Russia in the 1970s. It tells the story of young Anya. Anya's mother disappeared when she was just five years old. Three years later, she is chosen to train at the gymnastics school. She pushes her body beyond the limit to achieve her goal of representing her country at the Olympics. It is considered her duty to do well. Her journey brings new experiences and new friendship.
