Cynthia Freeman was an unknown author to me when I picked up this book at a library book sale. I am now searching for and reading all she has written. Not only is this a great book to read, it is very well written! I was an English major and a retired educator. Not too many romance novels are as good as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Novel, February 16, 2002

What a great book, i've thoroughly enjoyed it,
It becomes hard to put down when you start reading it, the plot moves fast and the reader is never bored with useless information and attention to details. I love the fact how the fictional events portrayed in the book tie in with actual events of the past century , such as WWI and WWII. The book explores the sorrow of losing loved ones and human emotion and feelings. While at the same time showcases the lifestyles of English and French elite societies, which is used to show that money after all is not the solution to all of life's problems. Sometimes the circuimstances one finds himself are not solved by buying your way out. I would definetely reccommend this book!!

This review is from: Days of Winter (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a wonderful generational saga that takes place in Europe. Told by a master storyteller, it is a tale of love, betrayal, and hope that spans two World Wars. It begins in 1914 with Rubin Hack, a barrister and beloved son of a prominent and wealthy English family. When he falls head over heels in love in Paris with Magda, a beautiful Hungarian eking out a marginal existence as a cafe entertainer, he and Magda set in motion events that would have ramifications for decades.

Those who like historical fiction with a strong injection of romance will find much to enjoy in this well-written, page turning novel.
