About this title

About the Author:

Ruth Axtell Morren has a bachelor's degree from Smith College, where she majored in comparative literature. She currently lives on the "down east" coast of Maine with her husband and three children. Winter Is Past is her debut novel.

From Booklist:

Morren's Winter Is Past is a Regency with a bit of a twist: Lady Althea Breton, who doesn't really need to work but wants to do good, hires on as a nurse for the sickly daughter of Simon Aguilar, a Jew who has "converted" to the Church of England in order to pursue his career in Parliament. To fall in love, both man and woman must overcome their prejudices in this otherwise predictable, though well-written and well-researched, tale of two deeply religious people attempting to help the poor.
