![]() If I liked The Tea Rose and enjoyed its amount of sheer ridiculousness, then I loved The Winter Rose. We've got illegal drug trades, unwitting use of said drugs by innocent persons, women's suffrage, the emergence of female doctors in the workplace, dirty cops and politicians, a modern-day Robin Hood, Africa, amputations, TWO escapes from jail, a serial killer, more star-crossed lovers (two couples this time! 100% increase in Angst Opportunity over last time!), women being hunted by lions and hyenas AND the most repellant antagonist I've read this year. After finishing the first, the question inquiring minds want to know was if the author could top the sheer spectacle of The Tea Rose? That answer was a resounding YES, yes she can. ![]() ![]() As before with my previous Jennifer Donnelly novel, this one was an interesting read, and I might get a wee bit spoilery. ![]()
