“REAL” MEN: Linden is a master at questioning the delusions and distortions of masculinity, and this is a profound take on the impact of an “alpha” male.

STRONG WOMEN: Maybe the whole idea of an alpha male is a delusion, given the Winter sisters’ hold on these men.

FEARLESS FICTION: Linden is staring hard at the power dynamic in romantic relationships here, and he will take his readers into territory that only fiction can explore…

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“Like all the other characters in this novel, the reader is also drawn into the wake of the enigmatic, Gatsby-like Allan Chase. Poignant, funny, at times shocking, The Winter Wives is a story about the hazards of memory, with a cracking great mystery at its heart.” —Gil Adamson, author of The Ridgerunner and The Outlander
 
“The Winter Wives tells a deceptively quiet story about friendship and secrets, which gradually reveals itself to be a gorgeous meditation on whether we can ever truly know the people we’ve loved the longest and the most.” —Lynn Coady, author of Watching You Without Me and Hellgoing
 
“Taut and absorbing, The Winter Wives is a layered story of love, deceit, friendship and identity. It is also a new kind of thriller, where dementia raises its head, and memory itself becomes a sly antagonist. Byron must navigate not only life-long romance and betrayal—but the hard knot that is his own complex mind. An elegant and fascinating book.” —Shaena Lambert, author of Petra and Radiance

“Longtime journalist MacIntyre…writes with an easy command of both the external world…and the internal world of complex and frequently conflicted characters…. The Winter Wives [is] a powerful, thought-provoking read.” —Toronto Star
