In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende

Our February book club read, this was an enjoyable foray into the unbelievable lives of 3 endearing characters.  I didn't always like the abrupt style of the author, but she writes with deep compassion for the marginalized and illicits in the reader, a true "liking" of the characters --though deeply flawed.  Perhaps that is what really drew me in -- the reality that we are deeply flawed and broken, and could there be a circumstance in our lives that would "put us over the edge", to hatch a scheme which would protect another in deep danger?
