After the Winter
ByPublisher Description
In Havana, Paris, and New York City, Claudio and Cecilia succumb to our implacable movement toward love.
Claudio’s apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he sets his feet on the floor at the same time, to ground himself. Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her best companion. In parallel and entwining stories that move from Havana to Paris to New York City, no routine, no argument for the pleasures of solitude, can withstand our most human drive to find ourselves in another and fall in love. And no depth of emotion can protect us from love’s inevitable loss.

“inspires you to become a better person and do what you want to do with your life”
“i didn’t really have any expectations going into this book as the summary was very vague but wow there was so much to unpack and discuss in this novel. i kind of didn’t want this book to end as i was fully invested in the main characters (even if i somewhat despised one). nettel does an extremely good job of drawing out her characters and their lives while she explored topics around relationships, identity and beliefs, loss, death, grief, and friendships. there is basically a little bit of everything in this book that people have been wanting to explore, know, and read more about. i’d highly recommend if you want something deep with largely popular topics.
this is my second book i have read by this author and i will be on the look for a third. i think i will read the accidentals by her next!”
