What at first seems just a small inconvenience takes an unforeseen and far more serious turn when Evelyn turns up at the professor’s house seeking help.Īt a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Maraz-a 62-year-old lecturer from Chile-for her advice. Richard Bowmaster-a 60-year-old human rights scholar-hits the car of Evelyn Ortega-a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemala-in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn. In the Midst of Winter begins with a minor traffic accident-which becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and moving love story between two people who thought they were deep into the winter of their lives.
A sweeping novel about three very different people who are brought together in a mesmerizing story that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil.
