"The snow was roiled with blood and panic. There had been a terrible struggle here. There were bits of fur mixed with blood and wet leaves. Her foot struck something hard, and she cautiously brushed the snow away to reveal a length of chain. She knew then what had happened."Jessie Stuart, five years the wife of the Reverend Angus McLeod, has unwittingly surrendered her talents as a gifted pianist to make a home in the modest village where he serves. A Winter's Tale explores the labyrinth of their marriage: a man so obsessed with his wife that he has put his love for her before his love of God, and a woman who has relinquished the essence of her spirit in her struggle to exist in the narrow space of what is expected and allowed.
