Recensione:

Advance Praise for A Boy in Winter

This is a finely observed, poignant story by a writer who knows a great deal about the intricate lives of families and, finally, the helplessness of parental love. What is most sobering about A Boy in Winter is that there are no 'bad people' in it, only flawed and loving ones, and yet tragedy visits and takes its hostage. Maxine Chernoff hears their voices perfectly as they reach for comprehension and forgiveness."
--Rosellen Brown
