À propos de cet audio
“Stunning... Oliveira writes with feeling.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“[An] engrossing story... that feels utterly timely.” (People - "The Best New Books”)
New York, 1879: An epic blizzard descends on Albany, devastating the city.
When the snow finally settles, two newly orphaned girls are missing. Determined not to give up hope, Dr. Mary Sutter, a former Civil War surgeon, searches for the two sisters. When what happened to them is finally revealed, Dr. Sutter must fight the most powerful of Albany's citizens, risking personal and public danger as she seeks to protect the fragile, putting at risk loves and lives in her quest to right unimaginable wrongs.
As contemporary as it is historic, Winter Sisters is part gripping thriller, part family saga, and ultimately a story of trauma and resilience that explores the tremendous good and unspeakable evil of which humans are capable.

“Engrossing . . . a meaty historical novel that sensitively addresses issues - among them gender equality, the rights of minors, corruption and child abuse - that plague us even today.” (The Seattle Times)
“Oliveira crafts a complex, multifaceted historical novel that is both a captivating story and a commentary on the laws that have, for far too long, oppressed and endangered women. . . . Entertaining at times, deeply political at others; a perfect example of a historical novel that also illuminates present-day issues.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Oliveira’s beautiful, expertly researched novel showcases the lives of women overcoming societal constraints and living fearlessly.” (Publishers Weekly)
