"The Winter Should Pass" - Epic Novel Explores the Sins of the Father

Jan. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- It is said that ‘The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.’ The Winter Should Pass by Nigel Patten puts this biblical teaching to the test, when his character Issak fears that his son will end up paying for his crimes.

The book begins in 1886, when Issak flees his native Antwerp after committing a terrible crime. Settling in Snowdonia, nestled in the hills of northern Wales, he builds a home and family with Rachel, a gypsy. However, Issak remains haunted by his past, remembering both his crime and his one true love, Julie. He also cannot shake the belief that his eldest son, Pieter, will someday pay for his father’s sins.

Ending in the year 1918, this epic story is rooted in the conviction that we cannot escape our fate, even if it means an eye for an eye.
