Winter's Tale
768 pages; Mariner
The epic love story of an Irish burglar who falls for a dying girl—all set in winterized, fantastical New York City—made this mammoth book a hit with young and adult readers. Read it for the icy, mythical world your imagination will create as you travel the streets of this city. Then and only then, watch the film this February and enjoy the cinematic version of Helprin's Manhattan, including white horses, ballrooms and frost-covered bridges. Note: Hankie mandatory.
