Russian Winter: A Novel | Daphne Kalotay
post image
Mehso-so

There were some very good things, but overall this was just pretty good. Multiple MCs, all three of whom have their own storylines including some flashbacks for two and an entire past story for the primary (told in present tense, naturally), makes it a challenge to follow. My main issues are that the whole conflict arises from NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER, and caused major grief for lots of people; and that there‘s no real resolution. It just ends.

ravenlee It was good to read something that‘s been on my shelf for over a decade. #52books23 #cityorcountrynameintitle 1y
TheBookHippie 🙃🖤 I loved this book 😂🖤 1y
ravenlee @TheBookHippie I can see how it could be loved, and I wanted to love it. Maybe if I‘d read it sooner I might have. 1y
TheBookHippie @ravenlee I read it in the dead of winter I think that helped! 1y

I forgot about the twist! 😂

First book for #auldlangspine @monalyisha @AllDebooks and after sleeping on my review I have to give it 5 🌟 again (was going to be 4.75 last night!) It also covers #weather and #landscapes for #naturalitsybingo2023.

AllDebooks Yay, so thrilled you still love it. I hate rereading a book, then struggling to see what I liked about it. Well done on ✔️ off so many prompts 👏😀 2y
Librarybelle I really need to read this one 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y
Bluebird @Librarybelle me too! I‘m embarrassed to admit I‘ve not yet read anything by Daphne du Maurier. She‘s been on my radar since my college days but somehow I never got around to any. 2y
Librarybelle @Bluebird The only I have read is Rebecca, which is so good! I have a copy of My Cousin Rachel which I hope to read sometime this year. 2y
Bluebird @Librarybelle Those 2 and Jamaica Inn are the ones I keep hearing about. I am going to make a point of reading at least one before years end! Thanks to you and @jenniferw88 for prodding me to finally read Daphne du Maurier! 2y
