The Winterlings
The Winterlings | Cristina Sanchez-Andrade
5 posts | 4 read | 22 to read
Finalist for the Herralde Novel Prize Two sisters return to the small parish of Tierra de Ch in Galicia after a long absence, to the former home of their grandfather, from which they fled when they were just children. At Tierra de Ch, nothing and everything has changed: the people, the distant little house in the rain, the acrid smell of gorse, the flowers, the crops, the customs. Yet the return of the sisters disrupts the placid existence of the villagers, stirring up memories best left alone. When news arrives that the famous American actress Ava Gardner will be shooting a movie in Spain and that lookalikes are wanted, the sisters have a chance to make their dreams come true. But the past is catching up with the present, and the family secrets that led to the Winterlings return wont stay buried for long.

Cristina Sánchez-Andrade is a masterful storyteller! I was completely engaged in this story of two sisters "The Winterlings" and the conflicts with their past and current present in their small home town of Tierra de Cha. It's such a great narrative I was kinda disappointed that there wasn't much more to the sisters secrets. Maybe I wanted them spelled out? Anyways definitely one I enjoyed and one to read!
