Winter Sisters
I think the writer started great with introducing the scene. Further explanations reveal the plot lining. but as I keep saying with the use of word to bring out phrases are some times used wrongly. this line was no different."
In concession to the snow, they wore boots" why would the writer use such word as concession in this instance, it should be due to the snow they wore boots.

" Their parents were similarly attired: boots in lieu of lighter, leather shoes, a woolen coat for Bonnie. why does the writer keep using wrong words as phrases because : in lieu was not even a perfect word. it should be just the same as.So I was disappointed.

The writer could have written this line in a more suitable way:"
Their farewell on the morning of March tenth at the school doors"the date should be written as march 10.These writing style of the writer affected my ratings a lot.

It was a total waste of time for the writer to explain the different city buildings and road ways.As this adds nothing to readers minds.For example Manhattan city and Habor.

New York, 1879: After an epic snow storm ravages the city of Albany, Dr. Mary Sutter, a former Civil War surgeon, begins a search for two little girls, the daughters of close friends killed by the storm who have vanished without a trace. 

Mary's mother and niece Elizabeth, who has been studying violin in Paris, return to Albany upon learning of the girls' disappearance - but Elizabeth has another reason for wanting to come home, one she is not willing to reveal. Despite resistance from the community, who believe the girls to be dead, the family persists in their efforts to find the two sisters. My rating is 3 out of 5
