Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah

Winter Garden is a 2010 novel by Kristin Hannah about two estranged sisters, Meredith and Nina, who reconnect when their father is dying and must confront their cold mother, Anya, who tells them a story from her past in war-torn Leningrad, revealing a secret that changes their understanding of their family and themselves. The book uses a dual-timeline narrative, alternating between the present-day sisters and their mother’s harrowing story from over 60 years prior, exploring themes of family, love, and the lasting impact of the past.
