Description
A bighearted and profound portrait of a marriage, The Heart of Winter by Jonathan Evison explores seventy years of big moments in subtle ways. The extraordinary novel tells the story of Abe and Ruth Winter, a couple who, despite their differences, have created a life together that is both beautiful and turbulent. As Ruth's independence begins to crumble, Abe must learn how to take care of her, while their children question his ability to look after his wife. This is a story about how the couple has to reconfigure how to be there for each other, and how they have grown into the people they are today. Through the years, the Winters have fallen in and out of lockstep, but from their losses and guarded secrets, a dependable partnership has been forged. This is a moving and heartwarming portrait of a marriage that shows us that true love lives in small, everyday moments.
