Elizabeth Sidham dreams of marrying into one of Britain's elite families. When George Arburthnot invites Elizabeth to a dinner dance, she is certain her dreams have come true.
George is tortured by his domineering mother, Catherine. Eager for an heir, she insists her son woo Elizabeth. She cares not that George's best friend and secret lover, William, is still in the picture. After George and Elizabeth are married, Catherine soon pushes for that desired heir; and when a son is born, she begins arranging the child's life. The couple are at wit's end. How long must they suffer under Catherine's control?
Winter's Soul by Patricia Harrington proves a short story can pack a huge wallop. Told from all four characters' points of view, this is a foreboding, mysterious tale. By allowing each character a chance to tell a portion of the story, the reader enjoys the emotions within: George's confusion, William's devotion, Elizabeth's anxiety and pain, Catherine's disappointment and anger. While I had figured out how it would end, I wasn't sure of all the details.
With an eloquent style, Harrington draws the reader into the lives of the people residing at Havenwood Manor. Definitely a story that will capture your attention.
