A Week in Winter Paperback – 7 October 2002

I didn’t dislike anything about this book

J'adore Marcia Willett. Ce livre est beau, les personnages humains, chaleureux, ils deviennent nos amis, et de belles descriptions de paysages.

I cannot sing the praises of Marcia Willett enough. I simply adore her stories - thank you.

I adored this book. Marcia Willett is a true find, and I only wish there were more of her books available. I didn't think she could match THE CHILDREN'S HOUR, but A WEEK IN WINTER is every bit as good. What makes her writing so special, aside from her brilliant descriptive prose, is her characters. Even Polonius, the dog, emerges vividly, and you feel you know him. I chuckled over and over again when Willett described what he was thinking, because I could believe every word. Even the antagonists in the story, like Selina, were multi-faceted and fascinating. Willett is simply a master at creating full-bodied, believable characters who amuse, frustrate, fascinate, and engross. She also knows how to create and maintain suspense, making me want to turn the pages faster or peek at the ending (yes, I admit it, I sometimes do that). :) Please, Ms. Willett, can't you write faster? I only have one more book of yours left to read, and then what? VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I loved the charactrrs, they were so finely developed, I felt like I knew them, especially Maudie. I wish I had her for a friend. I read the really sad part while on a plane, I really tried not to cry!! I enjoyed the story and was lost in their world and their problems every time I picked it up. I can't wait to read another of her books, this was my second.
