‘A Winter Away‘ didn‘t have much of a plot per se, but the novel takes place in an idyllic village setting with a fabulous cast of characters who endear & make you laugh. A maid named Who‘s it, vegetarian regiments, ‘go to bed‘ biscuits (which I now want to do, myself), a temperamental puppy, a crumbling estate, a library full of books, dinner parties with comical endings & yes even a bit of romance. It was the perfect book for a snowy January.
