"Every word here feels set down with care and fierce conscience. The resulting narrative glows." --San Francisco Chronicle
A novel of rich details and landscapes, Winter Kept Us Warm follows three friends through six decades -- from postwar Berlin to Manhattan, 1960s Los Angeles to contemporary Morocco. A twisting narrative reveals their mysteries in fragments, examining their long-ago love triangle and how it changed their lives forever. "This novel is a profound success that manages to take its place in the canon of excellent war literature while also maintaining a kind of magical surreality . . . This is an astonishing read, a best-of, and a masterful treatise on enduring." --Lambda LiteraryAnne Raeff's short story collection, The Jungle Around Us, won the 2015 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, was a finalist for the California Book Award, and was named one of the 100 Best Books of 2016 by the San Francisco Chronicle.
