This book started out slow and it wasn't until page 100 when it finally picked up for me. Once it did, I liked it a lot better.
Set in MN, in a small town, the characters were many and their lives centered around their family diner with many friends passing through.
One of the main characters is Alpo, who marries Sissy who is one of the owners of the cafe, her sister Laurie, and other characters. To me, the main plot was finding Rauri, who lives like a recluse on a small island. Pete, Alpo's son, a former alcoholic, fights with his demons daily.
Living in a rural area during Winter can be hard but it didn't focus on the weather much but on the lives of the many people living life here, only their lives and how close they were.
