Australian Setting Enhances Romance


Winter in Full Bloom by Anita Higman

  The winter of her husband’s death, her mother’s disconnection and her daughter’s recent departure to college make Lily’s life  seem very bleak, but things are about to change as she goes in search of her lost twin sister.  Her distant mother has told her that she has a twin and that her twin lives in Australia.  She hopes to forge a relationship with her sister that will compensate for the dismal relationship she shares with her mother.  When she arrives, she is swept off her feet by Marcus, who says he will help her find her twin.  Australia proves to be more than what Liz has expected.
I enjoyed this book.  The setting in Australia made it more interesting.  Although some parts of it were predictable, the author did manage to surprise me with some of the twists of the plot.  I enjoyed the unfolding story and the revelation of the author’s characters.  I would recommend this to those readers who enjoy a novel laced with some romance
