4.0
The Winter Guest was an enjoyable and compelling read, right up my alley. It was a post-war historical fiction with a paranormal, gothic streak. I would have liked if the ghost-story aspect was more pronounced, less like a spiritist kind of thing. I also anticipated some of the plot twists, and I would have liked it if they were more surprising. Anyhow, the historical aspect was beautiful and heart-wrenching, which is essential.
