The November Oprah’s Book Club reading selection is Solace in Winter by Mary Lawson. The Canadian author’s works include:
Solace in Winter is set in the same world as these previous novels and explores how a series of accidental encounters rocks the lives of an elderly widower, an injured draft dodger, and an abandoned dog. The story is set in a Canadian town in 1969 as young men flee to the northern border to avoid the Vietnam War draft.
Of the book, Oprah said:
“Beautifully written and deeply moving, Solace in Winter reminds us that even in our loneliest moments, unexpected connections can open our hearts, heal old wounds, and change our lives in ways we never imagined.”
