holiday in New York, Just after finishing two novels which I disliked I was on the lookout for something relaxing and easy to read and this book really surprised me as I enjoyed it so much. It is about a two sisters who are very different and when their father dies the sisters finds themselves together again along with their strange and icy mother, On his deathbed their father asks his daughters to get their mother to tell them a story a fairytale she began years ago and never finished. The story is set in Leningrad during the second world war and spans sixty years.<br>This is a great story and lovely historical Novel. I have never read anything by Kristin Hannah before and was delighted with this book as it was a real page turner. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_274398842" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_274398842"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_274398842" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_274398842" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_274398842"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/DemFen" target="_top">DemFen</a> | Oct 31, 2024 | <a href="/review/274398842"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_270087529" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/8914373" data-workid="8914373" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0312663153.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0312663153.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0312663153.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>A beautiful story of heartache that leads to greater understanding.

I didn’t expect what I got, but I absolutely loved it. It definitely brought tears but love and joy as well. As I always am when I read of especially, war stories, I am so convicted of the absolute strength and courage and fierceness that humans have deep in their being. It is unfathomable to me to have tried to live through a situation such as the siege of Leningrad.

I didn't have the best hopes for this book -- even though I loved [b:The Nightingale|21853621|The Nightingale|Kristin Hannah|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1451446316s/21853621.jpg|41125521]. I thought that the rest of Kristin Hannah's books simply wouldn't measure up. While this one was not as good as Nightingale, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed (and was moved) by it.<br><br>Like Nightingale, Winter Garden includes a historical and modern day story (a two-fer, as my GR friend Cathrine calls it!). The historical tale is by far the better story here, and thankfully takes up the majority of the book. <br><br>There are about a million reviews of this book, so I won't summarize the plot. All I will add is that this book has me wanting to learn more about the Siege of Leningrad. And, to recommend the most excellent [b:City of Thieves|1971304|City of Thieves|David Benioff|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1392015757s/1971304.jpg|1974537] to anyone else interested in that period of history. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_264749669" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_264749669"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_264749669" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_264749669" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_264749669"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/jj24" target="_top">jj24</a> | May 27, 2024 | <a href="/review/264749669"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><!-- languagenav --><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','8914373','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','8914373','',false, null, 'profile'); return false;">votes</a></div>Showing 1-5 of 172 (<a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',5,0,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','8914373','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">next</a> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,0,3,'wp_reviews',10000,'','8914373','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">show all</a>)</div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_53" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer" style="float: right;"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></span></div> <a name="publishedreviews"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'mediareviews', 'u_362a42dc', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Published reviews</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_362a42dc" style="display:block;"><div id="mediareviews_container"><div id="mediareviews"><table class="sa_tools" id="u_45db049c_link"><tr><td id="left">3 reviews</td><td id="center"><a href="#" onclick="LibraryThing.mediareviews.edit({'workid':'8914373'});return false;">add a review</a></td><td id="right"> thingScore <a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews"><span class="mre_score mre_score_good">63</span></a></td></tr></table><div class="bookReview" mr_id="17731" style="font-size:12px;"><span style="float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 6px;"><span id="rate-u_ef56c2be" title="9.0 Stars" aria-title="9.0 Stars" class="rating rating-style-2 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><img class="thumb_rating" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/mr-uu.gif" /></span></span><div id="brtext_17731" class="commentText">Resisting the urge to skip ahead so I could find out what happens was a serious problem with this novel.

Meredith, who runs the family business, and Nina, a photojournalist whose job takes her to war zones around the world, have never been able to connect with their cold, forbidding mother. When Anya begins to act strangely, Meredith thinks she belongs in a nursing home, but Nina decides to try to fulfill her father's dying wish and get her mother to tell her and Meredith the elaborate fairy tales she used to share with them. Anya is initially reluctant, but once she begins, Nina realizes these tales are actually the story of Anya's life in Stalinist Leningrad. Meredith and Nina decide to attempt to uncover the truth about their mother's tragic past in the hope of understanding her, and themselves.</div><div class="commentFooter" style="clear: right;"><span
