false 77364 7 <i>Winter Rose</i> begins as the seemingly simple story of Rois and Laurel Melior and their understandable fascination with young Corbet Lynn, returned to rebuild his abandoned ancestral home, Lynn Hall. Laurel is drawn to Corbet's beauty, Rois to the mystery of his past. But the past holds more than one mystery, and as Rois fights her way into the wood around Lynn Hall, seeking answers for herself, Laurel, and Corbet, she risks losing everything, for all of them, forever. <p> Traces of Christina Rossetti's <i>Goblin Market</i>, of Tam Lin, and of a dozen other legends and tales color Rois's story. Patricia McKillip's consummate mastery of language means that every word counts in a complex, sweetly painful story of human love and timeless, indifferent power. 1323557 book 1996 Winter Rose total:750|5:201|4:257|3:223|2:59|1:10| 750 2830 1086 68 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 23 10:32:53 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 10:33:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Mar 11 20:19:50 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 20:27:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Nov 13 04:14:11 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 04:31:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 19 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Nov 11 20:48:19 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 21:05:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 15:49:57 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 11:10:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 16:16:54 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 10:53:21 -0700 2009 1 Patricia A.
