    About this ebook

    "Every word here feels set down with care and fierce conscience. The resulting narrative glows." —San Francisco Chronicle

    A novel of rich details and landscapes, Winter Kept Us Warm follows three friends through six decades — from postwar Berlin to Manhattan, 1960s Los Angeles to contemporary Morocco. A twisting narrative reveals their mysteries in fragments, examining their long–ago love triangle and how it changed their lives forever.

    "This novel is a profound success that manages to take its place in the canon of excellent war literature while also maintaining a kind of magical surreality . . . This is an astonishing read, a best–of, and a masterful treatise on enduring." —Lambda Literary

      This was a good enough novel, but I never really felt as through I could like any of the characters and they felt unduly connected to each other while each lived a life beset with tragedy. I can see why some would love this book and proclaim it to be profound, but I'm simply happy I finished it. Perhaps in time, I might grow to appreciate this type of book, but for now, it's just not for me.

      This is not a book for everyone. It is actually a pretty tough read - sad and lonely, I think.There is a quiet story line about love in all of it’s shapes and sizes. I would not recommend this book to everyone but it is definitely a beautiful worthwhile read. I think it will stay with me for quite a while.
