The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley I devoured this book I wanted to find out what was going to happen to everyone in the family and was sad to bid farewell to the Quinn family. Hilderbrand expertly wraps up each character’s life and summarizes what’s in store for them while focusing on family, love, acceptance and the will to continue facing the ups and downs of life. However Nantucket is still home and the family returns to Winter Inn on a couple of occasions
Maggie is retiring from her career as a CBS news anchor, Bart who was rescued from Afghanistan in the last book is suffering from depression and is struggling with PTSD and with his father’s slow death from brain cancer, Kevin and Isabelle have a successful business and a new baby, Jennifer and Patrick are also struggling with economic and career issues after his release from prison, Ava has moved to New York to be closer to Potter, and Mitzi is grieving because Kelley is dying and questioning what she should do once he dies. This was the finale, the good-bye, the tying up of the loose ends in the Quinn family dramas. I was glad to learn that Elin Hilderbrand decided to add a fourth book to her Winter Street series, because I felt that the third book (which was the third book in a trilogy) had left us hanging with the story of the Quinn family. Warm and satisfying as a cup of cocoa, this book would be a perfect holiday gift for the woman in your life who enjoys touching tales of romance, family devotion and how people, working together, can overcome obstacles and find their way forward in life. Nonetheless, Elin Hilderbrand has provided her readers with a crowd pleasing, affecting and compassionately written novel filled with a memorable cast of characters that readers can not only relate to but that they are sure to cheer for as well as empathize and cry with. While this is an engaging narrative that can stand alone, I truly wish I had read the previous novels in this series in order to gain a more thorough understanding of some of the cast and their back stories. This offering is sensitive and sharply observed as members of the Quinn family and some of their friends and neighbors struggle for answers in their chaotic lives. Perfect for readers of Maeve Binchy, Rosamund Pilcher and Debbie Macomber, this is the fourth in Elin Hilderbrand’s Christmas “trilogy” about a family-run Nantucket inn.
