Synopsis: A young man, Eric, drops out of college and lucks into a job with a small-town newspaper where he meets Anna, a woman whose story will be haunt and inspire him for the rest of his life. Set in a remote North Dakota community in the last days before the Internet, The Winter in Anna unfolds around a romance that almost was, and a meditation on what constitutes a life well lived. In wistful, moving reflections, Eric looks back on his days with Anna and struggles to reconcile his memories with what he has since learned of her.
Review: I liked this book. It's character driven, rather than plot driven so it's a quieter, slower read. However, it felt authentic. It's many years in the future and Eric reflects on Anna and the time they spent together. It was something a little different or out of the ordinary from the types of books I usually read.
