Review: So many strands make this a wonderful book - I always learn so much about things I am only peripherally aware when I read her books. Too, her characters are nuanced and always human, helping the reader also learn about self. Given what is happening today in America, this should be required reading for everyone. Review: intertwining, captivating stories - Entertaining while being educational and thought provoking! Characters were well developed and believable and formed a bond the reader roots for. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06ZZ1YH6H | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,467 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #8 in Historical Caribbean & Latin American Fiction #381 in Romance Literary Fiction #539 in Later in Life Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (8,532) | | Edition | Reprint | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 1.9 MB | | ISBN-10 | 9781501178153 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501178153 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 353 pages | | Publication date | October 31, 2017 | | Publisher | Atria Books | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![In the Midst of Winter: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-8GRvauFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So many strands make this a wonderful book *by A***R on February 27, 2026* I always learn so much about things I am only peripherally aware when I read her books. Too, her characters are nuanced and always human, helping the reader also learn about self. Given what is happening today in America, this should be required reading for everyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ intertwining, captivating stories *by A***T on October 26, 2023* Entertaining while being educational and thought provoking! Characters were well developed and believable and formed a bond the reader roots for. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A big disappointment *by R***S on November 5, 2017* There are three Key People in this book: Richard Bowmaster is an NYU professor in his mid-sixties who lives in Brooklyn. He’s lonely, avoids physical contact, and does not drink because he’s an alcoholic. Richard is a widower and has a widower father named Joseph who was a Jew in Germany but managed to get out of the country in time. Lucia Maraz is an NYU teacher who is Richard’s tenant. She lives below him, is in her early sixties, and has occasional sex fantasies about Richard. She once touched him accidentally but he didn’t like it. She is originally from Chile and there is a chapter that deals with the September 11, 1973 overthrow of Salvador Allende’s government. (The author is well qualified to write about this because she lived in Santiago during this time and her father was a first cousin to Salvador Allende.) Evelyn Ortega is an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala. She’s a young woman who could probably be the daughter of Richard and Lucia if they had produced a child. Richard rear ends her car in an accident and gets Lucia to help translate their conversation. After I read about Evelyn I thought the plot might move toward Richard & Lucia getting together and pseudo-adopting Evelyn as their proxy daughter. Wrong. We learn all of this about the three characters in the first seventy pages. Then the plot begins with a stunning event. Now we’re getting somewhere, I thought. Whoops, wrong again. We eventually get to page 245 and three more chapters on the characters’ background follow. At this point I almost tossed the book. But I was getting close to the end so I decided to stick with it and find out what happens. Unfortunately, it ended with a whimper instead of a bang. Overall I thought this novel was seriously unbalanced with much more character background than plot substance. I’ve read a number of Allende’s earlier books and was disappointed with this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/105648663-in-the-midst-of-winter-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/105648663-in-the-midst-of-winter-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
