Official synopsis Publisher
From one of the world’s bestselling authors, Winter Garden is a moving, haunting and compelling novel illuminating the intricacy of mother-daughter bonds and the enduring links between past and present.
‘One of the greatest storytellers of our time’ – Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
‘Every choice changed the road you were on and it was too easy to end up going in the wrong direction’
Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her family and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and travelled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But these two estranged women come together at their father’s deathbed standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, to hear the one last promise he extracts from the women in his life.
It begins with a story like no other. A captivating, mysterious love story that spans sixty-five years and moves from war torn Leningrad in the 1940s to modern-day Alaska. The three women are brought together by a story so unexpected and extraordinary that when Meredith and Nina finally learn the secret of their mother’s past and uncover a truth so terrible, it will shake the very foundation of the family and who they think they are.
