Status Updates From If Winter Comes

End of Part II: Nona
And so we meet the woman he should have married. What a sad situation. This book is about choices and the consequences of them. Sometimes we also pay the price for choices other people make.

End of Part 1: We meet the Perch duo--mother and son. Very endearing relationship. I love the story about him patting her hand and her falling back to sleep. So sweet and natural. This section ends with the sentence "Nona returned into his life."

We do not yet know who Nona even is, but I cannot help hoping she brings some joy, love and laughter with her.

Poor Mark Sabre, he has married exactly the wrong woman. On the outside she looks perfect, she does just what her class requires, but she is as cold and barren as an Arctic iceberg.

"she was the complete and perfect snob in the most refined meaning of the word. She was much liked, and she like many."

I have seldom come across a better description of this kind of person, and I dislike her intensely.

I had hoped this would be good. I've not been disappointed.
