5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, otherworldly story, Feb 14 2008

This review is from: Winter Rose (Paperback)
This was the first book of McKillip's I have read, and I enjoyed it very much. The story possesses the mysterious, otherworldly feel of an old fairy tale. The writing is lyrical and the imagery is just wonderful. A truly beautiful book.

As a person who reads a lot of epic fantasy, I found the story in this book refreshing, for there are no battles, no kings and queens, and no political intrigue. Rather, the story follows two sisters throughout the course of one year: Rois, the "wild" one who loves to roam the woods, and Laurel, the "sensible" older sister who sits by the fire and does embroidery. Their stable lives are changed when Corbet Lynn, a mysterious stranger, seems to materialize from the edge of the forest to take up residence at his ancestral home near their farm.

This description may sound like a romance novel, but Winter Rose is nothing like that. It's dreamy, surprising, and sophisticated. After reading such a beautiful piece of writing I will be sure to pick up some more books by this very talented writer.
