An entrancing slice of early, and eerie, Americana. As is the case in great American literature, the landscape itself is a character, encouraging readers to find a deep chair and escape the sultry Georgia heat, shaded by ancient boughs richly depicted on every page. Couching inventive fiction within such a visceral frame of nature makes this book a deeply immersive read. That is perhaps the most notable thing about the writing: it is elegant and enveloping, capturing colloquial charm and syrupy drawls with ease. The Winter Sisters is quite simply a pleasure to read; the characters are engaging and unique, the descriptions are intoxicating, and wisdom hangs heavy in each chapter.
