Et cetera : What We're Reading: The Heart of Winter

This weekend I read Jonathan Evison's latest novel 'The Heart of Winter.' It is a lovely homage to the 70-year marriage between Ruth and Abe, college sweethearts whose story didn't exactly begin with love at first sight. It was the perfect post-holiday book for me, as early in the book their family is celebrating Christmas, and then the story progresses through the year, with flashbacks to the ups and downs of Abe and Ruth's life together.

This is my first time reading Evison's work, and it won't be my last. This title is new to our collection this month, and currently has 4.39/5 stars on goodreads.com.

Happy reading!
